As someone who writes about astronomy, I know that figuring out the universe   
   is tough. There’s all these weird things — dark matter, quasars, cosmological   
   expansion — that are genuinely difficult to get a good handle on.   
      
   So anything that helps come to terms with how the cosmos works is commendable,   
   and for that reason I really like this new 3-D map assembled by scientists   
   working with the National Astronomical Observatory in Japan using data from   
   the Subaru Telescope.    
   The graphic places more than 1,000 galaxies in their respective positions out   
   in the universe, taking the flat starry night sky that we normally experience   
   and giving us a new perspective. These galaxies are between 8 and 10 billion   
   years old.
