Meta Plans Massive Data Centers and AI Investments Amid Global Tech Race

Meta is building several massive data centers, including a nearly Manhattan-sized facility in Louisiana, to support its AI ambitions, with the first expected to be operational in 2026. The company is investing heavily, up to $72 billion, in infrastructure and talent to develop artificial general intelligence, aiming to create superclusters capable of handling multiple gigawatts of power, positioning Meta as a leader in AI infrastructure.

"Einasto Supercluster: Unveiling the Universe's Most Massive Galactic Gathering"

Astronomers have discovered the Einasto Supercluster, measuring an incredible 360 million light years across and home to 26 quadrillion stars, making it the most massive supercluster ever found. Superclusters are collections of galaxies bound together by gravity, and the discovery sheds light on the dynamics and temporary nature of these structures. The study also revealed that galaxies within a supercluster are receding from each other slower than the general expansion of the universe due to the gravitational pull of the supercluster, and there is an inverse square relationship between the density and size of a supercluster.

"Discovery of Einasto Supercluster: Universe's Most Massive Supercluster Yet"

Astronomers have discovered the Einasto Supercluster, measuring an incredible 360 million light years across and home to 26 quadrillion stars. This supercluster is among the largest structures in the Universe and is named after Professor Jaan Einasto. The study also revealed that galaxies within superclusters are receding from each other slower than the general expansion of the universe due to the gravitational pull of the supercluster, and there is an inverse square relationship between the density and size of a supercluster.

"The Einasto Supercluster: A Cosmic Heavyweight Emerges"

An international team of scientists led by astronomers from Tartu Observatory has discovered the 'Einasto Supercluster', the most massive among the superclusters, located 3 billion light-years away from Earth and containing the mass equivalent of around 26 million times billion suns. Superclusters, representing the largest and most massive collections of galaxies in the universe, have an average size of 200 million light-years and are approximately 2,000 times larger than the Milky Way galaxy. The study also revealed that galaxies within superclusters exhibit lower expansion speeds than the overall expansion speed of the universe due to the gravitational pull of the supercluster.

Uncovering the Mysteries of Cosmic Voids: A Historical Overview.

Astronomers discovered the first cosmic void in the early 1970s, which was a blank space devoid of galaxies almost 20 megaparsec, or 65 million light-years, across. This discovery was made after the realization that there was more in the Universe than mere galaxies and clusters, and that there was something larger - the supercluster. With the advancement of technology and techniques, astronomers were able to map the heavens and understand the large-scale structure of the Universe, including the clumping of galaxies into clusters and clusters into superclusters.
