When people die on the job, the federal agency doesn’t respond 85 percent of the time.

It happened because masses of people cast ballots, defying long-standing historical trends of low midterm turnout.

A team of researchers has found evidence of a large extragalactic assembly hiding behind one part of the Milky Way galaxy. The group has published a paper describing their findings on the arXiv preprint server while awaiting publication in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics. In studying the infrared imagery, the researchers found they were able to identify several galaxies that exist far beyond the Milky Way. Because of their numbers, the researchers believe that together, they make up what they describe as a massive extragalactic structure. They estimate there might be as many as 58 galaxies in the structure.
