The telescope that ate astronomy.
Made me wonder and theorize about things like the great attractor. What if we are now in the process watching a super galaxy being formed.
As galaxies swallow up smaller neighbors, perhaps groups of galaxies will clump together in the future to make increasingly bigger galaxies with bigger and bigger black holes in the center, until there is just the one giant galaxy in our neighborhood of space.
It would take billions if not trillions of years for this to happen, but, it COULD be a final outcome in our path through the universe.
Isn’t speculation Fun!
