Scientists build first map of hidden universe
“A team led by astronomers from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy has created the first three-dimensional map of the ‘adolescent’ Universe, just 3 billion years after the Big Bang. This map, built from data collected from the W. M. Keck Observatory, is millions of light-years across and provides a tantalizing glimpse of large structures in the ‘cosmic web’ – the backbone of cosmic structure.”
Once again: “the first three-dimensional map of the ‘adolescent’ Universe.” Just think about that for a second.
Horror movie Annabelle has been withdrawn from several French cinemas after the spooky prequel about a demonic doll saw teenage filmgoers rioting in auditoriums.
Managers in Marseille, Strasbourg and Montpellier have cancelled screenings until further notice for security reasons after under-16s began fighting, throwing popcorn and even ripping up theatre seats.
…It’s not the first time a horror film has sparked teenage riots in France. According to Le Parisien, a similar phenomenon took place during screenings of Paranormal Activity and Sinister, with the latter film pulled from more than 40 screens in 2012.
Okay, that’s unexpected. From here.

A Man (Who) Writes About Pop Music
That last reblog is very important. Read that. Follow the people in it, if you don’t already.

Very worth reading.
Hoary Hosts
So, it appears that the shortlist of current potential Doctor Stranges has leaked from Marvel, and it’s the following actors:
- Jared Leto
- Oscar Isaac
- Matthew McConaughey
- Jake Gyllenhaal
- Ethan Hawke
- Ewan McGregor
If this is true, I feel that Marvel’s just days away from placing a Help Wanted ad that reads “Wanted: Sorcerer Supreme. Must be: White, male, bearded, vaguely familiar but not famous famous. Wiggly fingers a plus.”
One more time, Marvel: It’s okay if you want to finally try a lead character that’s not a white male. Seriously. We’re all okay with that. We’re ready.
Before the panel began, fans were warned to put away all electronics. If any phones were out and appeared to be recording, devices would be taken and attendees would be escorted out of the theater.
Simple enough. That’s typical protocol for movie screenings.
Marvel went one step further.
The studio brought a team dressed in suits who Marvel TV president Jeph Loeb playfully referred to as a few of their “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D,” a reference to ABC’s Marvel series. Marvel’s “agents” were stationed both on the floor and in the balcony areas of the Main Stage room of Javits’ Convention Center with night vision goggles to make sure no one was capturing footage during the panel.

I can still remember how excited I was to read Marvel Super-Heroes: Secret Wars for the first time, when I was a kid.Literally just posted! Proof that nostalgia will only break your heart!
Looking for images for this post, I found a whole host of covers to the British reprint series. Guess what I’m going to be sharing on the Wait What Tumblr for awhile.
