Our home, the Milky Way, doesn't seem particularly odd for a galaxy.
Our Local Sheet, as an example of a 'cosmological wall', separates theThe relationship between the galaxies in the Local Sheet seems to exert a strong influence over their behavior; for example, their similarrelative to the expansion of the Universe. Outside of the cosmological wall environment, these velocities would have a much wider range.
But when they simulated a volume of space about a billion light-years across containing millions of galaxies, a different picture emerged: just a scant handful of galaxies as massive as the Milky Way could be located within a cosmological wall structure. "The Milky Way doesn't have a particularly special mass, or type. There are lots of spiral galaxies that look roughly like it,""But it is rare if you take into account its surroundings. If you could see the nearest dozen or so large galaxies easily in the sky, you would see that they all nearly lie on a ring, embedded in the Local Sheet. That's a little bit special in itself.
