Squeezed

Thanks for all your support. While I do have a job, and the situation is no longer dire, it’s just enough to pay the bills. (Although not until the end of this month, which is when I get my first full paycheck.) I will now be saving to catch up on my taxes, and to file for bankruptcy, so anything you can chip in is appreciated!

Larger

How about that?

Astronomers have discovered the largest known structure in the universe, a clump of active galactic cores that stretches 4 billion light-years from end to end.


The structure is a large quasar group (LQG), a collection of extremely luminous galactic nuclei powered by supermassive central black holes. This particular group is so large that it challenges modern cosmological theory, researchers said.


“While it is difficult to fathom the scale of this LQG, we can say quite definitely it is the largest structure ever seen in the entire universe,” lead author Roger Clowes, of the University of Central Lancashire in England, said in a statement. “This is hugely exciting, not least because it runs counter to our current understanding of the scale of the universe.”

Aaron Swartz, 26. He changed our lives in ways you don’t even realize.

And our government helped push him over the edge.
