The mysterious dark space pushes the Milky Way at 2 million km / h

A mysterious space is pushing the Milky Way to move in the universe at more than 2 million km / h.

In a study published in the journal Nature Astronomy on Jan. 30, Yehuda Hoffman, cosmologist at Hebrew University, Israel, and his colleagues studied the cause of the Milky Way's movement . They built a 3D map of about 8,000 galaxies located near us thanks to observational data of various observatories, including the US Space Agency's Hubble Space Telescope (NASA).

As a result, Shapley galaxies, 650 million light years from Earth, are pulling the Milky Way toward it. In addition, the scientists found evidence of a galaxy-free space that is pushing us away with great force. This dark space pushes the Milky Way, or Milky Way, into the universe at more than 2 million km / h, according to Science Alert.

"By 3D mapping the motion of galaxies in the universe, we found that the Milky Way is being pushed from a previously low-density space area. We call it's the Repeller Dipole , " said Hoffman.

In addition, the gravitational pull of the Shapley galaxies and the repulsive force of the Dipole Repeller for the Milky Way range are equally strong and on the same axis.
