How does the Cosmic Web connect Taylor Swift and the last line of your 'celestial address?'

A new map of the " Cosmic Web " that shaped the universe shows points of gravitational attraction in the local universe.

The new map defines basins of attraction or "gravitational wells" where gravity dominates and draws galaxies together.

The map also revealed a surprise about our home galaxy, the Milky Way, is likely part of a 1,000 million light-year-wide basin of attraction.

Basins of attraction provide a new way to map the universe, allowing scientists to segment the cosmos in adjacent cells and define their frontiers.

The team was shocked when they made the serendipitous discovery of a spherical shell-like structure 1 billion light-years in diameter in the distribution of galaxies in the Cosmicflows-4 map.

They speculate that this shell, which they named " Ho'oleilana ," could be the remnant of quantum fluctuations in the early universe.

Current data are not deep enough to determine the outer bounds of these dominant basins of attraction.

"In this research, we conclude we didn't reach the End of Greatness." Pomarède explained the next steps in the ongoing search for the 'end of greatness' This will include focusing on the fine detail of these vast structures.
