Cosmic flows inferred from a Wiener filter analysis of the CF1 sample of distances. The dominant characteristic of the flow patterns is the convergence near the location of the Centaurus Cluster and the region labeled Great Attractor.
This is Fig.14 from https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-6256/146/3/69
This map spans over 80 Mpc, that is 260 million light-years.
