Suggested title: Local Group motion: dominant influence identified as dipole repeller This is about the Local Group *motion

  No, scale is larger than Local Group.[0] 0) http://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-016-0036/figures/1 http://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-016-0036/figures/1

    Yeah, its about the motion of our Local Group, but yes. Here's the summary provided in the xml: >The presence of a large underdensity, the dipole repeller, is predicted based on a study of the velocity field of our Local Group of galaxies. The combined effects of this super-void and the Shapley concentration control the local cosmic flow.

      Yes, Local Group motion :) The Dipole repeller and Shapley attractor are ~30000 km/s apart, which is ~1.5 billion light-years.[0] 0) http://www.as.utexas.edu/astronomy/education/spring06/komatsu/secure/lecture13.pdf http://www.as.utexas.edu/astronomy/education/spring06/komats...
