Hello,
I guess first I must ask, have we figured out exactly what The Great Attractor (TGA) is? http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2016/02/solved-the-great-attractor-mystery-hundreds-of-previously-unknown-galaxies-discovered-hidden-behind-.html seems to indicate we might.
If not...
Then I have two questions. We seem to know the approximate location and how much mass it must have and since it is hidden by an expanding slice the Milky Way hides from view we know it must fit within this slice. Therefore:
1. Are there any other structures within the explored universe that would, if placed there, act like the TGA?
2. If not, making the assumption that TGA is not a unique object, can it be explained by using any of the universe's known structures by making them denser?
Thank you for your help,
Rusty
