What is the position of super clusters, clusters, and galaxies on filaments?
355044
The superclusters and clusters lie along the filaments.  These are regions of over density in the universe, and have structure much like a large web.  The idea is that the early universe was slightly "lumpy."  These lumps were over dense and more matter streamed into them, leaving the low density areas with even less matter.  Over time the high density regions (along the filamentary structure) were able to form galaxies, cluster and super clusters.

When we look toward the galactic center we see a long, thin strip. This suggests a disk seen edge-on, rather than a ellipsoid or another shape. We can also detect the bulge at the center. Since we see spiral galaxies which are disks with central bulges, this is a bit of a tipoff. \n\nWhen we measure velocities of stars and gas in our galaxy, we see an overall rotational motion greater than random motions. This is another characteristic of a spiral.

Yes they are there.  Apparently when the membrane like structure of different universes collide, they create new universes.  Look up string theory.

Humans found out that they live in a small living planet in the middle of a very-small galaxy. our galaxy is in the middle of a small super-cluster too. And they dont know more about this.

Hi Itsverystrange\n\nIt is actually true that distant galaxies can (and are) travelling away from us at apparently greater than the speed of light.  Any galaxies outside our Hubble volume (r = c/H) are apparently receding from us at greater than c - this is why they're outside our past light cone.  \n\nThere's no conflict with special relativity here because SRT is a strictly local theory.  The coordinate system itself is doing the expanding, the galaxies aren't moving with respect to their local coordinates.\n\nHope this helps!\nThe Chicken

Interesting. I vaguely remember a "great attractor" from chaos theory, but what I find when I look it up now is that it refers to a cluster of galaxies, "in the direction of Centaurus and Hydra" where nobody is sure why they're grouped like that.\n\nHere's a direct quote from another source though which I think directly addresses what you're asking about: The galaxy rotational problem refers to the phenomenon of the descrepency between the observed rotational motion of the matter of the galactic disc from the predictions of Newtonian dynamics. (See links below and search for "12.25.I".)\n\nI think in layman's terms what they're boggling about is the "bar" shape that occurs in most galaxies, our own apparently included. A recent issue of Scientific American had a very good theory on how that occurs and why.\n\nIf I'm getting the gist of it right, they're not sure why clusters of stars occur in a semi-pinwheel pattern, since based on observed mass there simply isn't enough to cause such a structure to form or remain stable.  The theory in SciAm had something to do with a coincidence of travelling wave patterns rather than any deep dark mysteries of physics, filiments, or anything else.\n\nSee http://www.sciam.com/, October 2005 issue, p. 43, "Ripples in a Galactic Pond." Very nice article and they explained it more clearly than anything I could put together.

Hi. The universal expansion, if it exists, is different from orbital motion. I would guess that all galaxies have SOME non-radial motion, but the overwhelming part seems to be radial.

As per the current observations and information SMBH (super-mass-...-...) reside in the center of galaxies. Most (not all) of the observable galaxies have a SMBH. There is still an open question that did galaxies form first & then they harboured a SMBH over time OR did the black holes got created first & they pulled over stuff from around & created the galaxy/galaxies, its like a chicken and the egg problem :)

only a few galaxies have names: the sombrero, the milky way, andromeda, the black eye, the pinwheel, the small and large malgentic clouds, the whirlpool, and the spindle are all i know of.\n\nMost go by NGC #### in the new star catalouges.\n\nand we only have found a few galaxies.  There are still almost unlimited more!

Take into consideration the billions of stars in this galaxy. Then take into consideration the billions of galaxies in the local cluster. Then take into consideration the billions of clusters in the local supercluster. Then take into consideration the billions of superclusters in the local segment of the wall. Then take into consideration the billions of segments in the Great Wall. Then take into consideration the billions of walls in the Universe. It's even possible there's more than one universe! \n\nWhat do you believe? I think there is life out there. But are they sentient and advanced? Maybe. Maybe not.

i got a look at the conjunction on thursday night when mars was passing in front of the beehive star cluster (m44) -- very beautiful in a wide field telescope.  this would have been about half a day after the astronomy picture of the day from the link below was taken.  mars moved a bit to the left from where it is in that picture during that time.
