Description
In 1987, astronomer Alan Dressler made the electrifying announcement that much of the cosmos is being drawn down toward a massive stellar body comprising thousands of galaxies. In this lucid and intellectually suspenseful book, he tells how he and his colleagues ("the Seven Samurai") discovered this Great Attractor, whose make-up may answer fundamental questions about the origins of the universe. 23 photos.
