We are moving roughly towards the Hydra cluster of galaxies.

Princess Leia: Into the garbage chute, flyboy.
Han Solo: Garbage chute. Really wonderful idea. I had everything under control until you led us down here!
Princess Leia: It could be worse.
[Garbage creature growls]
Han Solo: It's worse.
<<The Hydra was an ancient nameless serpent-like chthonic water beast that possessed numerous heads and poisonous breath. Its lair was the lake of Lerna in the Argolid. Beneath the waters was an entrance to the Underworld, and the Hydra was its guardian.>>

<<Together with the Virgo cluster and the Centaurus cluster (A3526), the Hydra cluster is one of the three largest clusters of galaxies within 200 million light years.>>

<<The Hydra Cluster of Galaxies contains well over 100 bright galaxies - but perhaps fewer galaxies than might be expected from its mass. Clusters of galaxies are the largest gravitationally bound objects in the universe. Most of a cluster's mass, however, appears to be in a form too dark to see, as analyses of the distribution of X-ray light, gravitational lensing, and internal motions indicate. Abell 1060, as the above cluster is also known, appears to have an even higher fraction of dark matter than seen in a similar cluster, a situation astronomers cannot easily reconcile with both clusters forming solely from gravitational attraction. The Hydra Cluster of Galaxies, named for its home constellation, spans about ten million light years.>>

Luke: Vader... Is the dark side stronger?
Yoda: No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
