A Big Cosmological Mystery Discovery of a second ultra-large structure in distant space further challenges what we understand about the universe. The discovery of a second ultra-large structure in the remote universe has further challenged some of the basic assumptions about cosmology. The Bi
I wish they would have said "corkscrew pattern of galaxies" instead of "large structure". The galaxies are arranged in a roughly corkscrew pattern that - from Earth - looks like a ring (ie. imagine flipping a spring so you're looking down the hole in the middle).
It's interesting, but the article sure takes its time getting to that basic description. Seems like click bait > quality.
It's important that they say structure because the scientific discovery is about how these galaxies are gravitationally bound in a cluster. That means that despite the expansion of space, these galaxies will never separate from one another, hence they are a single structure. It's a breakthrough discovery because every model of the universe we currently use says a structure this large is impossible.
I thought everything was expanding and constantly moving apart? And wont the suns in those galaxies eventually burn out and collapse, turning into blackholes that will eventually fizzle out?
So a slightly more circular shape of galaxies can be seen from our perspective than one student expected. But it turns out that it's actually not a ring when viewed from any other angle, more of a corkscrew.
Then the authors AI generated a "ring in space" and it created a picture of an alien structure, and they use that for the story picture.
This is such a a non-story that nobody would even read aside from other cosmological researchers except for that completely misleading picture paired with the headline.
The Ori arc was the weakest point of the series but the battle over the supergate with goa’uld, tauri, and asgardians ships fighting together was easily one of the too 3 moments.
