The Big Bang was not an explosion from a single point, with a center and an edge. ... Each dot represents a "galaxy". Two of the galaxies have a ring of red photons moving out from them. Most of the photons are cosmic microwave background photons that were present since the Big Bang but which have been traveling freely only since 0.0003 Gyr after the Big Bang. ... However, all parts of the Universe started with CMBR photons, not just the two green galaxies. ... FAQ | ...

... Animation of the neutral hydrogen data cube from Westerbork. ... VIRGOHI 21 was a dark galaxy candidate discovered in 2005 it was found to contain no starlight down to a very low surface-brightness level, yet its velocity structure implied that it had a mass of 10 10 10 11 solar masses. ... VIRGOHI 21 was first observed in the 21-cm line of neutral hydrogen with the Lovell telescope at Jodrell Bank Observatory and the detection was confirmed using the Arecibo telescope ( Davies et al. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...
