The discovery of the structure, which appears to be a colossal galaxy cluster, contributes to filling in this mysterious region of our cosmic map, known as the "zone of avoidance." Nobody has known what exists in this region which obscures 10 to 20 percent of the sky- until now.The enclosure in Chile home to the VISA telescope.The study explained that the zone of avoidance does not allow clear optical observations of extragalactic sources behind the Milky Way.
"A new galaxy cluster, VVVGCl-B J181435-381432, behind the Milky Way bulge," which helps to complete "the picture of the large scale structure in this still little explored area of the sky," outlined Daniela Galdeano on the 'context' section of the study, Galdeano is an astronomer at the National University of San Juan in Argentina and one of the study's lead authors .
, an unknown gravitational anomaly pulling galaxies and clusters toward it, is present in the ZOA and hidden galaxy clusters. The only way to understand the nature of this massive attractor is through additional observations and investigation.
