Bumped into a youtube publisher, sixty symbols, that seems to be astronomy and physics, from University of Nottingham. The two I watched were about (a) the largest so far discovered galaxy, and (b) more intriguing, a structure that seems to be the largest in the universe. A string of quasars 4 billion light year long. What makes it especially interesting is that this would be too big for a homogeneous universe.

Amazing Graphic
Found this at User Friendly. The page draws an incredible image that to me feels like a village growing into a town into a city. The parent site was created 2004 by Jared Tarbell and I don't know if it changes. Take that back: there are many images of different dates and they are just fabulous.

Read his British police procedural, blood and honey, and he is definitely worth following.
