We Never Know
No Slack
Finding new things that constantly change what we think we know is awesome. Still much we don't know and we may never know.
Giant Structure Lurking in Deep Space Challenges Our Understanding of The Universe
"A colossal structure in the distant Universe is defying our understanding of how the Universe evolved.
In light that has traveled for 6.9 billion years to reach us, astronomers have found a giant, almost perfect ring of galaxies, some 1.3 billion light-years in diameter. It doesn't match any known structure or formation mechanism........."
"At the moment, nobody knows for sure what the Big Ring and the Giant Arc signify. They could just be chance arrangements of galaxies twirling across the sky, although the likelihood of that seems pretty small.
The best hope would be to find more such arrangements of galaxies, scattered throughout the Universe, hiding in plain sight.
From current cosmological theories we didn't think structures on this scale were possible," Lopez said. "We could expect maybe one exceedingly large structure in all our observable Universe. Yet, the Big Ring and the Giant Arc are two huge structures and are even cosmological neighbors, which is extraordinarily fascinating."
