Great Attractor
Definition(s)
- The Great Attractor is a hypothesized large mass, about 150 million light-years away in the direction of the Virgo-Hydra-Centaurus supercluster, that seems to be affecting the motions of many nearby galaxies. The amount of mass proposed amounts to tens of thousands of galaxies. However, the nature and even the existence of the Great Attractor are subjects of debate.
