Some scientific discoveries shake up my brain.
On the one hand, it almost blows my mind when I think about it further. On the other hand, it's wonderfully reassuring to realise that there are a lot more important and fascinating things in this cosmos than some evil guys on two small legs.
Meet Quipu, largest known structure in the universe
A team of astronomers have mapped the nearby universe, from about 425 million to 800 million light-years (which translates to some 130 to 250 megaparsecs), and discovered the largest-known structure residing there. They’ve named this massive collection of galaxies Quipu. And they said it stretches some 1.3 billion light-years (400+ megaparsecs) long, containing the mass of some 200 quadrillion stars.
Uh, give or a take a few billion stars...

Using the sun as a baseline, astronomers can measure when a #star formed by determining its #metallicity, or the level of heavy elements present within it.
Metal-rich #stars or nebulas formed relatively recently, while metal-poor objects were likely present during the early #universe.
The formation of super-Earths, #planets more massive than the Earth, near metal-poor stars is significantly more difficult than near high-metalliciry ones.

@everyone.
Is the #universe flat and infinite, or something more complex?
We can’t say for sure, but a new search strategy is mapping out the subtle signals that could reveal if the universe had a shape.

Looking back into the early universe using JWST has thrown up a new mystery. #space #universe
You can always count on www.BigThink.com for big thoughts. Case in point: This article by astrophysics professor Adam Frank that suggests that life might be more common across the universe than a popular model of cosmic life and intelligence would have you believe. Read for yourself:
How 'quantum foam' may have inflated the early universe
https://www.space.com/the-universe/how-quantum-foam-may-have-inflated-the-early-universe
Cosmologists strongly suspect that the extremely early #universe underwent a period of exceptionally rapid expansion known as #inflation
This event expanded the universe by ar least 60 orders of magnitude in less than a second.
But inflation also laid down the seeds of the first structures by generating gravitational waves sloshing around in the infant universe.
