Science Discoveries
Behind our Milky Way lurks a truly strange structure: some time ago, astronomers discovered a region in space that does not attract the surrounding structures at all – but instead literally repels them! Now christened the “dipole repeller,” this peculiar area remains the focus of astronomical research to this day – and it is clear that the “center of repulsion” is at least as strong as the attraction exerted by the so-called Shapley attractor! But why is our home galaxy being “pushed” through the universe – and what does this mean for our future journey through space? Has the Dipole Repeller somehow managed to outsmart gravity and reverse the law of gravitational attraction? Be sure to stay tuned until the end and join us as we get to the bottom of this exciting discovery!
