“Overall, the distribution of clusters and super-clusters in the universe is not uniform. Instead, super-clusters of tens of thou sands of galaxies are arranged in long, stringy, lacelike fila ments, arranged around large voids. The Great Wall, a galactic filament discovered in 1989, stretches across more than half a billion light-years of space.... “The most distant galaxies known, near the edge of the observ able universe, are faint blue objects called “blue fuzzies” because of their appearance on photographic plates. The images were ob tained by aiming a telescope at apparently blank regions of the sky and using a solid-state charge-coupled detector to gather the very faint light, then processing the images by means of a computer.” Funk and Wagnalls Encyclopedia , Infopedia 2.0, Article “Galaxy.”
