Scientific paper

A significant component of our motion reflected in the Cosmic Microwave Background dipole anisotropy is found to originate very nearby. Our Galaxy is embedded in a filament that bounds the `Local Void'. While motions within our filament are quiet, the entire filament has a peculiar motion of over 300 km/s, directed in roughly equal parts toward the Virgo Cluster and AWAY from the Local Void. With the standard LambdaCDM model, the Local Void must have a diameter of 50 Mpc to generate the observed outflow velocities.
