I'd love to see some sort of local star universe map that shows what everything is looking at!

I hope I understand correctly but do you mean a map of specific objects or phenomena that different research groups are looking at?

That would be hell of a lot of work but it wouldn't only be pretty, it would help the research to make sure they don't miss anything. Because you know, there's kind of a lot of shit out there.

As a yout, I had a poster that showed the solar system, then the galaxy, then the local group and so on until it showed our visible universe. Maybe out of a National Geographic?

Anyhow, I found it fascinating and still do. A newer version of that would be neato.

Well, there's this. I thought it was pretty neat when I saw it on Lemmy Few weeks back.!

👨‍🚀 Wait, it's black holes all the way back?

Some point to Dark Matter (heh) but I'm a RMOND kind of guy, so I'm team Black Holes.

I’m too dumb to understand this but it sounds hilarious!

Galaxies are too advanced for their supposed age, given our current galaxy formation predictions. Some scientists believe Dark Matter played an early role but there's a few theories about early black holes and as I don't believe Dark Matter exists, I also believe black holes (+asymmetrical big bang + antimatter interactions + strong electromagnetic fields) were the seeds for early galaxy formations.
