10 times as many galaxies in the observable Universe

[Notebook]

13 October 2016
Astronomers using data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescopes and other telescopes have performed an accurate census of the number of galaxies in the Universe. The group came to the surprising conclusion that there are at least 10 times as many galaxies in the observable Universe as previously thought. The results have clear implications for our understanding of galaxy formation, and also help solve an ancient astronomical paradox – why is the sky dark at night?

Just getting used to the size it was!

When last year, or last month ?

 

[Urwumpe]

This universe is far to crowded for me.

Probably the last few years. Wish they wouldn't keep making it bigger, you just need more furniture, and the heating costs go up!

[Donamy]

Especially when the room down here, is getting smaller.

I'm going to move to a different Universe, I think its called death...!

[Donamy]

Even that may be pretty crowded now.

 

[Notebook]

Crowded, but there will always be room for expansion.

The surface of the sun is pretty baron I hear.

So now, what are the new odds that there an exact clone of you somewhere in this bigger universe?

 

[Donamy]

How many clones of galaxies are there.

My head hurts now.

So with ten times the matter, do we still need "dark matter" to explain everything?

Yes. Its also needed for explaining the rotation behaviour Galaxies, that is its prime reason to exist.

Only now, there has to be alot more of it.
