    The nature and extent of the Great Attractor (ACO 3627) has beenthe subject of much debate in the past decade, partly due to the fact that alarge fraction of the ACO 3627 overdensity is hidden by the southern Milky Way.Based on our deep optical galaxy search behind the southern Milky Wayand a subsequent redshift survey we discovered that the Norma cluster(ACO 3627) in the GA region is a very massive cluster of galaxies.

    Also ACO 3627 is pulling everything around it - into it.

    This is a great image database of the ESO
