New sky survey uncovers hundreds of thousands of previously unknown galaxies
Galaxies without end: A new radio telescope sky survey has discovered hundreds of thousands of previously unknown galaxies.
This discovery is part of a major release of papers outlining a number of discoveries made by this new sky survey.
I could of course also subheaded this post “The uncertainty of science.” Wanna bet that even with this discovery we have only seen the tip of the iceberg of the number of galaxies out there?
The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

I can’t wait till the JWT starts sending back data!
Wait, what? The “uncertainly of science?”
Does this mean that, gasp, man made global warming science may not, in fact, be ‘settled science?’
We must notify Al Gore.
(sarcasm..OFF)
F16 Guy: I suspect you are a relatively recent reader at BtB. Do a search there for Al Gore. You will find a lot of essays by me that you will find most entertaining.
and yet , the missing “DARK” matter/energy must still be added to the Cosmological recipe?
Orion314: Remember always that dark matter and dark energy are addressing two different mysteries of astronomy, and are very different.
Note too that these newly discovered galaxies almost certainly do not contain enough matter to make up the dark matter deficit, and more importantly, they are in the wrong place to address the issue, which has to do with the rotation rates within galaxies. This fact is known pretty certainly: the outer stars in galaxies rotate faster than they should based on the visible matter, by a lot. The only solution that astronomers have come up with so far seems to solve this issue is the presence of a lot of unseen matter, “dark matter” so to speak.
This is a kludge, and most good astronomers readily admit it. At the same time, they don’t have any other solution available, at this time.
As for dark energy, that is a mystery based on so many assumptions I generally don’t pay much attention to it.
Robert..not a new follower, but hadn’t seen your Al Gore archives. These were excellent (of many):
Global Warming advocates debunk their own theory

Many thanks
F16 Guy: I have added the urls to both posts to your comment. For me personally, I like these essays, with the second my favorite:
Close-minded politicians everywhere!
Al Gore and the silencing of debate
Sunspots and the danger of crying wolf
The science remains uncertain
