From today's featured article

Galaxies are assemblies of stars that may often have a black hole at their center. They may contain anywhere between 10 million to 100 trillion stars.

We can, in theory, observe about 100 billion galaxies. Galaxies have been observed to exist in various shapes: elliptical, spiral, and lens shaped, and irregular. Galaxies usually form into clusters. Clusters are moving apart due to the expansion of the universe. There may be about 500 billion galaxies in the universe.

Deep thoughts by Enki

Reading Wikipedia:Wonderful Land, I learned that Hank Marvin named the song in honor of America. Not only is this a beautiful gesture, it shows how great he is and why he is so successful.

Dove thoughts by LeicesterLass

True freedom begins when you stop running from your own reflection. When you no longer reject the parts of yourself you do not understand. When you embrace the duality within, the contradictions, the complexity of your being. Only then can you move beyond illusion, beyond limitation.
– Dame Dove Hepburn (1980–2025)
