Besides mapping over 125,000 galaxies, the survey also reported the positions of over 500 empty volumes in the nearby Universe, those devoid of any galaxies.
The Milky Way galaxy is found in the center of this group of galaxies. (Did anyone here on Earth wave, or smile and say ‘cheese,’ when the picture was taken?)
Dr. Jones states within the SMH article that every dot on the map is “another Milky Way, with billions of stars.” [SMH]
Just think of the possibilities of life—even intelligent life—that could be contained on this map.
With this new information on these 125,000-plus galaxies, new and exciting discoveries are sure to come.
Dr. Jones states, “We want to learn about the composition of dark matter. We want to see how it varies with different galaxies, and its role in the formation of the universe. What we know about dark matter now is not very much." [SMH]
We know so little, but we are discovering so much!
