The dipole repeller is a repeller opposed to the Shapley attractor,[1][2] and is hypothesized to be the force that moves the Milky Way galaxy. Through 3-D mapping, scientists believe to have charted the shape of the force as "tapered at both ends, with a large dome-like shape in the middle."[3] The force is motivated by large energy extensions that move into four different yet complimentary directions, almost in a rowing motion. Although where its ultimate destination may be is still just a matter of speculation, the current theory is that it is being pulled towards the Lettus-Leaf cluster.[4]
