Image Details
Caption: Figure 22.
Cosmic flows in the nearby universe. In this wide-angle perspective view, galaxies are visualized as spheres. Streamlines of the cosmic flows are seeded on the supergalactic plane. An image of the reconstructed overdensity source field is also displayed on this plane. The bulk flows along the Virgo–Centaurus filament and along the Antlia–Centaurus filament are well defined. To the rear of the scene, beyond the Virgo Cluster, a "fountain" is associated with the attractor also visible in Figure 21.
