The known Universe just got a lot bigger.
A new map of the night sky published Tuesday charts hundreds of thousands of previously unknown galaxies discovered using a telescope that can detect light sources optical instruments cannot see.
The international team behind the unprecedented space survey said their discovery literally shed new light on some of the Universe's deepest secrets, including the physics of black holes and how clusters of galaxies evolve.
"This is a new window on the universe," Cyril Tasse, an astronomer at the Paris Observatory who was involved in the project, told AFP.
"When we saw the first images we were like: 'What is this?!' It didn't look anything at all like what we are used to seeing."

They are just going to keep on finding them, I reckon.
Unearths ???
How about the word “reveal” 300,000 more galaxies.
Geez...
The “edge” just keeps getting farther away. :)
How much more research funding is this discovery good for?
300,000 more galaxies, ought to at least take 2,000 degreed monkeys banging away on keyboards...
Only 999,999,700,000 to go.
There is a giant mirror at the edge of the universe that makes the space appear to be even larger...
They were found below the turtles.
Good news for folks in the franchise industry.
You need to get out more.

We’re the only ones in the universe of course...
Punch in “Genesis” into Bing and see what you get. The first link is to the group. The Bible link is not even on the first page. Amazing.

Modern cosmology is something I enjoy. It’s interesting to perceive even this iota of God’s thinking.
And He made a lot of them...
In Pascal’s time it was argued against the bible that God promised Abraham his descendants would be innumerable, like the stars; but men could count all the stars and they were not innumerable.
I guess that argument falls flat these days...

I’m just itching to build a 10’ radio telescope.
