When astrophysicist Hélène Courtois and her team began creating a map of the entire universe, she had no idea that she would discover our Earth's new address: in a gigantic cluster of millions of small and 100,000 large galaxies. The researchers named this supercluster of galaxies Laniakea, which is Hawaiian for "immeasurable heaven." Hélène Courtois thrillingly recounts her long journey to the discovery of Laniakea, explaining complex relationships in an easy-to-understand way. An exciting journey from the first steps in measuring the universe to the latest spectacular discoveries.
