The Laniakea Supercluster (/ ˌ l ɑː n i. ə ˈ k eɪ. ə /; Hawaiian for "open skies" or "immense heaven") is the galaxy supercluster that is home to the Milky Way and approximately 100,000 other nearby galaxies.
The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are a binary system of giant spiral galaxies belonging to a group of 50 closely bound galaxies known as the Local Group, surrounded by a Local Void, itself being part of the Local Sheet and in turn the Virgo Supercluster.
The Milky Way creates a Zone of Avoidance for local observers. The Zone of Avoidance (ZOA, ZoA), or Zone of Galactic Obscuration (ZGO), is the area of the sky that is obscured by the Milky Way.

The black hole Gaia BH3 is together with Cygnus X-1 the only known stellar black hole more massive than about 10 M ☉. The mass of Gaia BH3 is quite similar to the mass of merging binary black holes found via gravitational waves.
