Hundreds of galaxies have been discovered.

They were hidden by our own galaxy, the Milky Way.

Researchers used an upgraded radio telescope to see past the stars and dust.

The new findings could help explain the Great Attractor — a mysterious region in space believed to be pulling in galaxies, including the Milky Way.
