Scientists discover hidden galaxies behind the Milky Way
February 10, 2016 (Old News)
Hundreds of hidden nearby galaxies have been studied for the first time, shedding light on a mysterious gravitational anomaly dubbed the Great Attractor.
Despite being just 250 million light years from Earth—very close in astronomical terms—the new galaxies had been hidden from view until now by our own galaxy, the Milky Way.
Using CSIRO’s Parkes radio telescope equipped with an innovative receiver, an international team of scientists were able to see through the stars and dust of the Milky Way, into a previously unexplored region of space.
The discovery may help to explain the Great Attractor region, which appears to be drawing the Milky Way and hundreds of thousands of other galaxies towards it with a gravitational force equivalent to a million, billion Suns.
“We know that in this region there are a few very large collections of galaxies we call clusters or superclusters, and our whole Milky Way is moving towards them at more than two million kilometres per hour.”
“An average galaxy contains 100 billion stars, so finding hundreds of new galaxies hidden behind the Milky Way points to a lot of mass we didn’t know about until now.”

I find this interesting because it is an example of science suspecting something that eventually becomes viewable with technology.
The Great Attractor is in large part responsible for the concept of Dark Matter and Energy.
Many people believe Dark Matter and Energy is a mysterious factor in the physics of the Universe. This discovery aligns with my own theory that Dark Matter/Energy is normal matter/energy that we can't currently detect with out technology. Its 'hidden' by other matter/energy.
From an asteriod behind the Moon to a million galaxies behind the Milky Way. Each celestial object could hide matter/energy that contributes to The Great Attractor.
It makes me wonder how much matter would be found just by merely moving the detection equipment to a different galaxy. Seeing the vista from a different angle.
So, technically, there is no such thing as Dark Matter/Energy. Only normal matter/energy we have yet to detect.
On a different slant to it all.
Any mass that is near absolute zero will not be detected. That area will show up as a dead spot. There are vast areas of space that are called Voids. It may be that the temperature in those areas of space is so low, vibrational heat is stifled. With nothing radiating from the surfaces of mass, it can't be seen. Just because it can't be seen (detected) doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
