Thanks for posting Brent Tully's video. It's a good complement to the more layman friendly Nature Magazine video.
The 3-D rendering of Laniakea in both videos is pretty impressive. It's difficult to wrap your mind around a concept so huge, but the rotational view of the supercluster really helps to visualize it. A little bit anyway. From this hot rock on the pale blue dot.
