Our galaxy and its neighbours are racing through space at more than two million kilometres an hour, caught in a tug-of-war between the gravity of distant superclusters ahead and a vast, near-empty void shoving us from behind
You are sitting still, more or less, but the galaxy beneath you is not. The Milky Way and…
