GREAT pic, as usual.

How can an atheist even EXIST?

Awe and wonder.

Saw a really interesting article at Science Daily a few days ago:

“All bright galaxies within 20 million light years of Earth, including Earth, are organized in a ‘Local Sheet’ 34 million light years across and only 1.5 million light years thick.”

1.5 million light years thick - that just blows me away.

The “filament” sponge-like structure of the universe has been understood for a while.

This appears to be the first evidence that “small” areas of space operate on the same rules.
