Supercluster Galaxy Kids T-Shirts

The Laniakea Supercluster Hawaiian for "open skies" or "immense heaven" is the galaxy supercluster that is home to the Milky Way and approximately 100,000 other nearby galaxies. This design is for those who love Galaxy and are interested in universal, in dark tones and red on it.

Illustration of the supercluster, Laniakea (yellow), which includes our own Milky Way. Scientists at the University of Hawaii have examined the velocities of galaxies in unprecedented detail, showing in the process that Laniakea is much bigger than originally thought. It weighs in at 100 million billion solar masses and spans over 500 million light-years of extragalactic space. Each dot in this image is a galaxy - 100, 000 in all - each containing in turn millions to trillions of stars. The contour lines are velocity flows: they indicate the direction that galaxies are moving through the supercluster under the combined gravity of all of that matter. The red dot shows the location of the Milky Way, our own galaxy, on the edge of the super...
