Two enormous structures — the Giant Arc and the Big Ring — appear in the same region of deep space at the same cosmic distance, a pairing so unexpected that Alexia Lopez, one of the astronomers who discovered them, says current cosmology struggles to explain even one of them, let alone both together.
Two of the largest reported structures in the distant universe do not just look strange on their own.…

Cooling a data centre on Earth can consume 10 to 30 per cent of its energy budget and millions of litres of water; in orbit, there is no air, no cooling towers, and no river to dump heat into — only vast radiator panels bleeding waste heat away as infrared light into the blackness of space
Keeping a data centre cool on Earth is a surprisingly large part of the job. Cooling can swallow…
