"
Astronomers always knew they were missing some fraction of the galaxies... but for the first time we now have a measurement. The number of missed galaxies is substantial"
Science is a constant learning process . . . they say.

Ah geez, I knew I paid too much to name that star. What to do when you’re upside down on your star naming investment.

Duuuhhhh! Every time we get a bigger stronger telescope the Cosmos gets bigger. Only because we can see farther. There may not be an end to the Universe therefor don’t be surprised if we find more stars.

Look, I believe in a higher authority. I believe man was created in God's image. I'm just having trouble wrapping my brain around 'TIME".
O The Universe is supposedly around 13-14 Billion years old.
O Yet some atomic particles have life-spans measured in nano-seconds.
O Let's be realistic. Humans appear at this point in time yet it seems extremely unlikely that they can survive 10,000; 100,000, 1,000,000 years into the future. Even if humans could adapt and survive the current theory sees the universe continuing for another trillion years until it is a cold, dark, lifeless void. Why? O Am I supposed to be a 'soul' waiting in heaven for a trillion years or for eternity for some purpose? Why? It doesn't make sense.
O If an atomic particle only survives for a nano-second, and we survive for perhaps 100 years, why does the universe survive for another trillion? What's the point of a God creating a timeline of existence in which we are only a nano-second in the history of the universe? Sorry, I just don't get it.

Thanks decimon.
Astronomers may have underestimated the tally of galaxies in some parts of the Universe by as much as 90 percent
Only 90 percent? Why's everybody got their knickers in a twist? ;')
