Did you know our Milky Way galaxy, along with numerous others, is being pulled toward a massive gravitational anomaly known as the Great Attractor. The source of this gravitational force is still unknown, as it is obscured by the Zone of Avoidance, a region with high concentrations of dust and stars.
