derphurr, w Discovery of second ultra-large structure in distant space further challenges our understanding of the universe

It’s not a “new” discovery or even the “second”. I suggest they read the 2015 paper they are almost copying from.

2015 dx.doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv1421

Evidence suggests that this feature is the projection of a shell on to the plane of the sky. Voids and string-like formations are common outcomes of large-scale structure. However, these structures have maximum sizes of 150 Mpc, which are an order of magnitude smaller than the observed GRB ring diameter. Evidence in support of the shell interpretation requires that temporal information of the transient GRBs be included in the analysis. This ring-shaped feature is large enough to contradict the CP. The physical mechanism responsible for causing it is unknown.

Weird reporting like this is “new” GRB ring out of Swift and Sloan SDSS data.

Sloan Great Wall, which is around 1.5 billion light-years in length

South Pole Wall, which stretches 1.4 billion light-years across.

Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall, which is about 10 billion light-years wide

2015 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_GRB_Ring

It is approximately 9.1 billion light years from Earth and about 5.6 billion light years across

New objects:

Big Ring in the Sky is 9.2 billion light-years from Earth. It has a diameter of about 1.3 billion light-years

Giant Arc in the Sky which is 3.3 billion light-years across,

Doubt, something unknown? Sure. Structure? Doubt.

FishLake,

“Structure” in this case means “big glob of galaxies slightly closer together than other globs”

In astronomical terms structure doesn’t mean a building of any kind.

Why didn’t they just use a socket wrench?

This is why you don’t send an scientest to do an engineer’s job

Just cuz you got the water from mars doesn’t make the sea red! God you kids are scientifically illiterate af.

Haha, not my title, the article’s. I don’t change them too often because it disrupts my flow going through my RSS feeds while I select things I want to get into in depth myself, and I know publishers make these decisions for a reason. The text is pretty ok though. Feel free to downvote them.

You think non-capitalist countries would leave it alone?

No idea but the moon is always colonized from a profit perspective so far. Haven’t heard anyone interested in leaving it alone.

I could’ve done it in like 10mins. Easy-peasy. Oxy-acetylene torch, fastener can’t be stuck if it’s a liquid.

It is being stored and a clean room that is temp controlled any heat or anything would contaminate the sample.

Thanks poindexter. It was a joke.

Peppycito,

You’re welcome dickhead, it wasn’t funny.

Well this whole thread restored my faith in humanity.

Also I snickered so it wasn't completely lost.

Peppycito,

Having a good day is easy when you’re not an asshole. You should experiment with that concept sometime.

Says the guy being an asshole

GBU_28,

The fuck is wrong with you

Freewheel,

Given that you aren’t the only audience to a response, even someone who recognizes that it’s a joke might add a little bit of context about, I don’t know, how melting the fastener might contaminate the sample or grinding the fasteners might cause dust and sparks that could also contaminate the sample, so on and so forth.

That all being said, are you okay? Kneejerk responses like that don’t usually come from good places.

Maalus,

A sentence needs to be funny to be a joke. Also, not everything needs a joke as a response.

essteeyou,

I think it was fairly clearly a joke, and at least a little bit funny via absurdity, like suggesting nuking it to open it, or wrapping an elastic band around like a tight jar lid.

Not everything you read is serious unless otherwise stated.

GBU_28,

I guess my other reply was too honest for the moderator, but they are cool with your rudeness?

Why are you being so rude?

faintwhenfree,

Funny, not sure why people can’t understand it’s a joke. But I’ve learned my lesson that I always add /S when I do the sarc joke

It legit looks like an AI image generator was told to generate a nebula that's also a bat

Anticorp,

I feel like this has definitely been touched up.

@mozz@mbin.grits.dev avatar

I highly doubt NASA is in the business of doing that (and FWIW Snopes agrees with me).

Anticorp,

Read the comment right above yours:

mozz,
@mozz@mbin.grits.dev avatar

There's a big difference between "touched up" as in, fix the contrast and adjust the color balance, versus "touched up" as in let's make a nebula look like a bat. The first, me and Ricky are in agreement that they're doing. The second, me and Snopes feel strongly that they're not doing.

rickyrigatoni,

NASA always touches up their photographs to add color and contrast or else space would look very boring.

Whoa. It looks like a bat. Not like the horse head nebula, which looks more like a headless human to me.

Sequentialsilence, w NASA loses contact with Ingenuity Mars helicopter

So basically 72 flights into it’s 5 flight mission it went to far over the horizon and lost line of sight. So they have to drive over to it to re-establish communication.

  1. They’ve done good already, they don’t need to go this hard.
  2. They went so hard they went over the horizon and lost coms.
  3. Because it’s autonomous it’s likely still operational, they just have to get close to it.
