The universe is big and is cleverly designed.
Scientist have discovered “A crescent of galaxies spanning 3.3
billion light-years is among the largest known structures in the universe and
challenges some of astronomers' most basic assumptions about the cosmos.
The
epic arrangement, called the Giant Arc, consists of galaxies, galactic
clusters, and lots of gas and dust. It is located 9.2 billion light-years away
and stretches across roughly a 15th of the observable universe. “
