Underlying Skeleton of the Universe (computer, light, support, system)

A gigantic, previously unknown set of galaxies has been found in the distant universe, shedding light on the underlying skeleton of the cosmos.

This comes to me as no surprise , given how little we know.
All the while still amazing.

I agree we're only at the beginning of understanding our cosmic surroundings. It's not unexpected because computer models have already pointed that matter isn't evenly distributed and the structure of the universe is filamentary or weblike. The remarkable telescopic discovery adds another piece to support that model and help better understand the universe we live in.

As a longtime astronomy and cosmology buff, it never ceases to amaze me how vast and strange the Universe is. Especially the vastness. I'm currently reading a book entitled "Strange Matters" which is mainly about that weird Dark Matter which cosmologists discovered several years ago in an attempt to explain why the galaxies are redeeding from each other faster than Hubble's Constant would allow.
Anyway, while looking for this Dark Matter, which is sort of pushing everthing apart, cosmologists studied a tiny slice of 10,000 galaxies, which is of course a mere fraction of the Universe's "billions & billions" of galaxies. So, the comparative size of this tiny slice to our solar system is the same relation as an amoeba is to the Great Wall of China!
Makes you feel kind small, eh?
But sometimes that's a good thing, I reckon.
