the most astounding fact about the universe

[Doughboy]

Well I remember hearing that there is a HUGE mass right outside of the observable universe and that it isn't made up of the normal stars/space stuff. I'm too lazy to google the technique they used to find it, so yeah. I have no idea of it was covered in the video or if it's been disproven or not.

dark matter is the only thing that would come to mind.

I was meaning to ask how they found it using Hubble.

because all the galaxies are rotating at unusual speeds and going faster and faster towards the edge of our universe
they think it's the effect of some mass on the other side

where would you have to be in order to see this?

One of the image credits was for "sunset over mars", this might be it

That'd actually make sense

Only thing is what are we orbiting towards?
