The knowledge seems to more than double when different types of telescopes examine the same phenomenum. Sharing information, instead of hoarding it is making humanity far richer in knowledge! Thanks for doing your part, Anton!

Much appreciated, Anton. Great explanations, one after another... Perhaps you know already; you have a knack for this :)) Interesting how a tiny magnetic moment emanating from the movement of an electron contributes to massive magnetic fields as explained in this video, as well as the enormous jets witnessed in quasars.

It looks like a Petrie dish in a lab that was put on a slide on a microscope, but it’s a very massive galactic cluster involved in an intergalactic collision viewed through powerful telescopes.🔬🔭

That COSMOS-web map you showed the other day revealed quite a lot to me about what we don't know at these scales and distances. There's quite a bit of undocumented stuff hidden within, likely with a lot of it mislabeled or misinterpreted without the keys to understanding dark matter and dark energy.
