Astronomers have discovered a massive proto-supercluster of galaxies -- bigger than even one million billion Suns.
Scientists have called the ancient colossal structure Hyperion, the European Southern Observatory announced Wednesday. It is reported to have appeared just 2.3 billion years after the Big Bang, which took place about 13.7 billion years ago. The cluster's namesake is one of 12 titans born to the gods Gaia and Uranus in Greek mythology.

The order of the universe is by design, Just like number powers. The north star will be in its usual zone tonight; whether you see it or not. Hallelujah!

One has to wonder what’s been going on there for the past 11.4 billion years.

Re Hyperion-Simmons, ditto.

In the zone it was in 680 years ago, to be exact.

You can’t fool me. Hyperion is a sewage treatment plant in Los Angeles.

[about his cologne] It’s called “A Day in Paris”.
Fred Sanford:
Smells more like “A Night in El Segundo”.
To: Flash Bazbeaux
LOL. Yes, between Chevron and Hyperion El Segundo has all the odors covered

That’s the Hyperion Sewage Treatment Plant. Los Angeles International Airport is in the background.
To: Sawdring
That is the Hyperion Waste Water Treatment plant in El Segundo CA. It is located just south of LAX and is huge.

You can seethe airport in the background and just offscreen to the left is the ocean.
