For a little diversion, I thought this was really interesting AND it was given a beautiful Hawaiian name to boot. Sure makes me realize how small we really are in this vast cosmos.

I might have said something about this has been posted before, but how can I with a post like this! Thank you Laurelj!

This was a stunning piece of research and thought it was really cool to give the cluster an Hawaiian name.

For those who don't know Laniakea means Immeasurable Heaven, according to the video. Beautiful.
