  1. Got a copy of Roland Lehoucq's latest book "Astronomie". It features a beautiful double-page rendering of Laniakea, our Home supercluster of galaxies, produced by Félix Pharand-Deschênes.

    Preparing my talk for the 1st Ox & Lancs Colloquium on Cosmological Features on the Largest Scales at U. of Lancashire. Highlight of the meeting: a talk by Sir Roger Penrose (Nobel Prize 2020) on "Dark matter in Conformal Cyclic Cosmology and Lopez Galactic Rings".

  7. RE: mastodon.social/@pomarede/1158

    "[...] in a **modest neighborhood** called The Solar System [...]", "solar *interstellar neighborhood*", "[...] it's like a huge collected **city** [...]": Mr. Hawking seemed to be well aware it was all our **home**! 🛖 It has been so exciting to join him in the "ultimate voyage" which is his *Genius* documentary...! I recommend it if you want to get a bit more familiar with your cosmic neighborhood! 🌌 🗺️ ✨

  9. It's Stephen Hawking's birthday. The occasion to share this fantastic video he produced as part of his Genius documentatry series. Hawking elaborates on our place in the Universe, including our membership to the Laniakea supercluster of galaxies that we discovered back in 2014.

    The complete documentary: pbslearningmedia.org/resource/

  11. #KnowledgeBit: A #Supercluster is a large group of smaller galaxy clusters or galaxy groups; they are among the largest known structures in the universe.

    The #MilkyWay is part of the Local Group galaxy group (which contains more than 54 galaxies), which in turn is part of the Virgo Supercluster, which is part of the #Laniakea Supercluster.

    The number of superclusters in the observable universe is estimated to be 10 million.

    The DESI DR1 Peculiar Velocity Survey: Fundamental Plane Catalogue
    by C.E. Ross and co-authors
    arxiv.org/abs/2512.03226

    For comparison: the Great Attractor was discovered with 400 PVs, Laniakea with 8000 PVs, South Pole Wall with 18,000 PVs

  19. Our #Galaxy Appears To Be Part Of A Structure So Large It Challenges Current Models Of #Cosmology
    As we study the universe more, we have found ourselves to be part of much larger structures, formed by gravitational interactions.
    Local Group is on the outer edge of the Virgo Supercluster, which is itself part of a giant basin known as #Laniakea. According to the new study, Laniakea too resides within a larger "basin of attraction" (BoA), potentially 10 times its volume.

  21. #KnowledgeBit: #Laniakea is the name of the supercluster of galaxies that contains our Milky Way galaxy. It's a vast structure, over 100 times larger than the previously defined supercluster.

    In Hawaiian, "Laniakea" means "immeasurable heaven".

  27. Don't call it crisis, call it opportunity! Here is the December edition of the (German-speaking) science magazine "bild der wissenschaft" with a cover story about the challenges of our current #cosmology model: wissenschaft.de/bdw-hefte-spec
    ...including a one-page interview with me on our community paper!
    Check it out, it's a great read!! 🤩

  30. Via Lattea è parte di un super ammasso di galassie. Laniakea non basta più, la nostra galassia è parte di ‘qualcosa’ di molto più grande. Un nuovo studio suggerisce che Laniakea, il nostro 'continente galattico' non è in realtà altro che un'appendice della concentrazione di Shapley, una struttura dieci volte più grande
    Finora erano i confini di Laniakea, il nostro enorme “continente galattico“...
