Largest Object in the Universe Discovered

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the that's-a-big-twinkie dept.

prostoalex writes "Quick, think of the largest object you can imagine. Whatever your imagination delivered it probably wasn't an 'enormous amoeba-like structure 200 light-years wide and made up of galaxies and large bubbles of gas,' a newly found object, as USA Today reports."

      Steve Balmer's ego doesn't even compare with the size of his internal void.

      ballmer.c: error: invalid application of `sizeof' to a void type

      Wow, it really doesn't compare! (I'm so sorry...)

    They're here already...
    The filaments were recently seen using the Subaru and Keck telescopes on Mauna Kea.
    Atleast they seem more interested in using our high-powered telescopes than enslaving mankind.

    Stuck to the lens of the telescope.

    "Space is big - really big - you just won't believe how vastly, hugely mind-bogglingly big it is. You may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space."--Douglas Adams

    Up to 200Million from 200? That's BLOATWARE if I've ever seen it.

    Microsoft OS used to work on a 8Mhz machine and now will require a 4Ghz machine(4000Mhz) to run well(MS Vista.) That's only a 500x increase. The 1,000,000 time increase here makes that look like a drop in the bucket!

    The universe making MS look good! Gotta love it.
