What is the Great Attractor drawing all the galaxies towards it?

 Right now, the Milky Way and 100,000 other galaxies are hurtling at 1.3 million mph toward a massive gravitational anomaly. But the Great Attractor isn't the final destination.

For decades, the Great Attractor was an astrophysical mystery because of its location. It sits about 150 to 250 million light-years away in the Centaurus Supercluster, placing it right in the "Zone of Avoidance." This is the band of sky obscured by the dense gas, dust, and stars of our own Milky Way's galactic plane, which blocks visible light from beyond it.

When astronomers finally peered through this dust using X-ray and radio telescopes, they found a dense concentration of mass dominated by the Norma Cluster. The Norma Cluster is a dense gathering of old, massive galaxies, but its visible matter alone is not enough to generate the immense gravitational pull required to drag our entire corner of the universe toward it. The vast majority of the Great Attractor's mass consists of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up the bulk of the universe's gravitational scaffolding.

The Great Attractor acts as the gravitational center of the Laniakea Supercluster, the immense web of galaxies that includes our own. Think of Laniakea as a vast watershed, with the Great Attractor as the basin at the bottom of the valley. The galaxies within this structure are like water flowing down the cosmological slopes toward the lowest point.

In the 2000s, astronomers mapping the large-scale structure of the universe realized that the Great Attractor itself is moving. It, along with the rest of Laniakea, is being pulled toward an even more colossal structure located 650 million light-years away: the Shapley Supercluster. This gargantuan region contains more than 8,000 galaxies and has a mass thousands of times greater than the Milky Way, making it the most massive galaxy cluster within a billion light-years of Earth.

Why is the Great Red Spot on Jupiter so persistent?

 I would be cautious about calling the Great Red Spot permanent. It is certainly long-lived, as it has been observed by astronomers for 348 years. Recent observations show that it is smaller than previously thought. It is quite possible that it will disappear one day.

The short answer is that we don't have a definitive answer regarding the exact mechanisms. There is still much research and discussion about the precise mechanisms of the Great Red Spot and other anticyclones on Jupiter. Much of the current thinking is based on two different models—the quasi-geostrophic (QG) and the mid-geostrophic (IG). It's possible that the only way to resolve the difference between these two models will be to send probes into the atmosphere to obtain direct data.

But we have a fairly good consensus on some of the contributing variables.

The Great Red Spot is as tall as Earth and almost three times as wide. At its narrowest point, it is still six times the diameter of the largest hurricane ever recorded on Earth. The first question we should ask ourselves is why hurricanes on Earth don't last very long. Hurricanes feed on the energy in the moist air over warm water. Normally, hurricanes live until they either pass over cold water or land. On Jupiter, there is no cold water or land for them to fly over.

We should then ask ourselves what else is different about Jupiter that would affect the longevity of a hurricane. There are no boundary layers within the thin weather layer of Jupiter's atmosphere, which means there is very little dissipation. Jupiter rotates very quickly (resulting in a large Coriolis force). There is strong east-west shear. And the atmosphere is so thick that there is a virtually unlimited reservoir of energy.

There is broad agreement that a vortex can become stable if it is fed by shear in the bands above and below it. Computer models reflect this and explain why anticyclones like the Great Red Spot on Jupiter last so much longer than cyclones.

What final scene ruined a great movie for you?

 The final scene or you can say the ending of Bollywood movie "Shadi mein jaroor aana" ruined an otherwise great movie for me.

**Spoiler Ahead**

This is a very good movie showing the story of a boy whose to be wife run away on marriage day for her career goals. The boy had extreme love for the girl and this incident broke him. His family suffered due to this incident.

Fast Forward 5 years the boy is now an IAS and investigating a case of corruption against the same girl. During the investigation he kind of takes his revenge and in the end of the investigation proves that the girl is not guilty.

Girl is thankful to him however he left even without looking towards the girl.

The movie could have very well ended here however Bollywood have a deep feeling for happy endings. Now the girl again starts flirting with the hero and arranges a fake marriage with a different boy.

Now, overlooking all the embarrassment and shame they faced due to this girl the hero's family go to this fake wedding and finally hero heroine get married.

This completely ruined the experience of an amazing revenge movie for me. Why Bollywood do not experiment with their movies what are they affraid of?

Don't know why.

On a side note, after seeing this movie I thought a different ending for the movie where the hero calls heroine to his home and say:-

"How do you think I become an IAS? Just to take revenge. NO! I loved you and what did you do, you broke me. But, then comes my inspiration, who changed my life for good. Who was there when I needed. Who loved and supported me in my tough time. Meet my fiancee, Prerna (Meaning of Inspiration in Hindi).

We are getting married on Sunday. Shadi mein jaroor aana. (must come to wedding)”

Who are some great Indians that most people have not heard of?

 We know that Elon Musk is one of the greatest innovators of this Generation, but Let me Introduce to the man Who Saved Elon Musk's Company From Bankruptcy.

In the year 2008, When Tesla was almost ready to get Bankrupt and Elon Musk had to borrow money from His Friends to pay his Living Expenses. Mr. Musk got divorced the same year and everybody thought it was the end of Elon Musk's dreams.

An Indian Came like an Angel and didn't just save Company from Bankruptcy but took it even further. Deepak Ahuja is the man who had saved the Tesla and Elon Musk's dreams.

Deepak Ahuja was born in Mumbai, He graduated in 1985 with a degree in Ceramic Engineering at the Institute of Technology of Banaras Hindu University (BHU) (now IIT BHU Varanasi). Completed his post Graduation from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and MBA From Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Ahuja was offered the position of Chief Financial Officer when Tesla was almost ready to get Bankrupt and saved the company. In 2015 Ahuja retired from Tesla, and then returned as Chief Financial Officer again in February 2017 to replace Jason Wheeler.

He is known as the man who saved Tesla.

Namaste,

Rohit Kashyap
