Research has unveiled that our Milky Way galaxy, along with its 100,000 galactic neighbors in the Laniakea Supercluster, might be part of an even more colossal structure known as the Shapley Concentration. WATCH THE VIDEO HERE:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99B_5...

Every 26 seconds, Earth emits a subtle seismic pulse known as a microseism, first detected in the 1960s. This rhythmic vibration originates near the Gulf of Guinea, specifically close to the Bight of Bonny. Scientists believe it may be caused by powerful ocean waves interacting with the seafloor, or possibly linked to volcanic activity near the island of São Tomé. Despite decades of research, the exact cause remains a mystery. This persistent, low-frequency signal is detectable around the globe and continues to intrigue geophysicists as one of Earth's quietest yet most consistent phenomena.

We may have just found the largest structure in the entire universe — and it’s called Quipu. In today's video, we’re breaking down what it is, why it matters, and to make it even more special, we’re joined by a renowned astronomer who’s here to help us unpack what this means for our understanding of the cosmos.

The Earth you don't see! This is the water hemisphere. More than 94 percent ocean and barely a sliver of land. It’s a quiet reminder that Earth isn’t a land planet with some water; it’s a water world with a few islands. We live on a blue planet, and this is the side we almost never see. Image credit: NOAA

When matter falls toward a supermassive black hole, it forms an accretion disk that heats up due to intense gravitational and frictional forces. While much of this material eventually crosses the event horizon, some of it is expelled from the system in the form of high-energy outflows or relativistic jets. This process is known as Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) feedback. AGN feedback plays a crucial role in galactic evolution. By ejecting vast amounts of energy and matter, these outflows can heat or disperse the surrounding interstellar medium, suppressing star formation and influencing the growth of the host galaxy. Observations have even captured delayed ejections years after the initial accretion event, leading researchers to describe these episodic emissions as a kind of  cosmic burp. Image Credit: NASA
