about

"The Great Attractor is: gravitational anomaly in intergalactic space and the apparent central gravitational point of the Laniakea Supercluster.
The observed anomalies suggest a localized concentration of mass millions of times more massive than the Milky Way. However, it is inconveniently obscured by our own Milky Way's galactic plane, lying behind the Zone of Avoidance (ZOA), so that in visible light wavelengths, the Great Attractor is difficult to observe directly.[1] In fact, it will not be for another hundred million years that Earth will be on the other side of the Milky Way galaxy, allowing us to see past the galactic plane.

Approximation of 400 elliptical galaxies are moving toward the Great Attractor beyond the ZOA (zone of avoidance).

The discovery of cosmic microwave background (CMB) dipoles were used to reflect the motion of the Local Group of galaxies towards the Great Attractor."

lyrics

Beyond the zone of avoidance
In the unimaginable wake clusters
As far as the infrared eyes see
Where magnetic magic meets;
magnetic energy
Of our timeline foretold
by the light
may we be bound by a Great Attractor

Mankind defies, the pain, the time
To better the lifes, that where denied
Sever the filaments that bind
Sirius shining, as light becomes lore

Moving towards the same horizon
But diverging in orbits further away
For another milion years from know
The matter of our home will obscure the sight
And one might never know what it’s like
To see past the galactic plane

Our galaxies arms are clanching gravity
through undertows of unbelievable speed
On a screen of hydrogen and invisible light
We witness when giants collide

Our spiral turns, a cog in the local groups machinery
Its intergalactic wanderings
Accompanied by its siblings
Destined to die at some point
There is still plenty of our precious time
To reflect and amend our wrongdoings
Beyond the milky way there’s more than just the night....
