More model informationCosmicflows-2 Wiener Filter reconstruction of the cosmic velocity web displayed in terms of its filaments (grey surfaces) and knots (red surfaces). Galaxy positions from the V8k catalog of redshifts are marked by spheroids of different colors: 1) red for a selection of clusters, 2) cyan, pink and khaki for the three components of the Centaurus-Puppis-Perseus-Pisces filament, 3) yellow for the Centaurus-Virgo-Perseus-Pisces filament, 4) blue for the Centaurus-Arch-Perseus-Pisces filament, 5) magenta for Perseus-Pisces galaxies, 6) black otherwise. The central signpost has 2000 km/s-long arrows pointing to the SGX (red), SGY (green), SGZ (blue) directions. The box is 64,000 km/s wide.

At last I can study Laniakea on my own. Would you please tell me why there are black dots between our galaxy and yellow dots of Centaurus-Virgo-Perseus-Pisces filament. How are the black dots different from the yellow ones?
That's really cool you made it free - thank-you!
The dipole repeller effect is IMHO, a break through into the knowledge of a new physics dipole repeller gravity on large- and even small scales.

@pomarede Brilliant, congratulations! I'll let the team know.
@bartv Hi Bart, the model is also featured in this article with an embed player: sciencepost.fr/2017/07/cartographie-3d-v...
Cheers,
Daniel
Great! Looking forward to it.
@bartv thanks for the notice Bart I didn't see it, that's great.
@miekeroth Thanks Mieke. We have more to come!
a perfect example of how to use a 3d model in a scientific publication!
