Southie, yes the latter part. Whole universe was formed out of one big bang.

Philo, read 'Brief History of Time' by Stephen Hawking. A very good read and very simple to follow.

“The Hubble Space Telescope has celebrated its silver anniversary with a picture featuring a spectacular vista of young stars blazing across a dense cloud of gas and dust. The “Westerlund 2” cluster of stars is located about 20,000 light-years away in the constellation Carina.”

Astronomers recently discovered, what they call the biggest space structure. It's a 1.8 billion light years wide void. The mass density in that void is 80% less than anywhere else in the universe.

Re: Astronomy miscallaneous

I’m simple.
I like that a “void” is considered a “structure”.
:cb:

Re: Astronomy miscallaneous

It must be a very structured void, I guess :smiley:

Re: Astronomy miscallaneous

I have a feeling this is leading to some sort of bathroom joke.....what with "void" and all.....

32

Re: Astronomy miscallaneous

Muzna you have such a gutter mind. Toba. I was not thinking about any bathroom joke, but thanks to you, now I am

Re: Astronomy miscallaneous

I know, I know.....I'm so bad.

Re: Astronomy miscallaneous

This is the only void and bathroom joke I could find on the internet

“In awe, I watched the waxing moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like an ambered chariot towards the ebony void of infinite space, wherein the tethered belts of Jupiter and Mars hang forever festooned in their orbital majesty. And as I looked at all this I thought: ‘I must put a roof over this toilet’.”

Re: Astronomy miscallaneous

The fact that you looked for one is funny enough dost!
