Hello dear readers of your journal Réflectivité!
In this article we will glimpse the grandeur and magnificence of the immense aggregations of matter located on the outer space levels, at least on the first level. It is revealed to us now that “at least seventy thousand aggregations of matter, each larger than any superuniverse of the present time” are being prepared for the coming ages of the universe. We all have a great interest in knowing these stellar immensities, for we will be called, as members of the Corps of the Finality, to some future service in these outer space universes.
In order to situate ourselves in this immense cosmos, we know from the revelators, beginning “from the most distant system of inhabited worlds to the center of the superuniverse is just under two hundred and fifty thousand light years” (UB 32:2.11). Which gives us a diameter of five hundred thousand light years for Orvonton. It is written that between the superuniverses and the first level of outer space there is a quiet zone whose width averages four hundred thousand light years (UB 12:1.14). Then, “about half a million light years beyond the periphery of the present grand universe, we observe the beginnings of a zone of incredible energetic activity increasing in volume and intensity over a distance of more than twenty-five million light years.” Logically, we can deduce that if this zone increases in intensity over twenty-five million light-years, it decreases over an equally large distance. Therefore, the total thickness would be fifty million light-years. This being the region of the first level of outer space.
It is also revealed to us that more than “fifty million light-years beyond the outermost region of the phenomena of the first level of outer space” the physicists of Uversa have detected warning signs of manifestations of force (UB 12:1.15). This would be the organization of the material creations of the second level of outer space. I leave you to imagine and deduce the colossal dimensions of the third and fourth levels of outer space! William S. Sadler Jr. has made a detailed study of this in his Appendix XVI which you can read on the Urantia Foundation website.
So, let’s leave our solar system and go explore these immense clusters found so far by our Urantian astronomers! Depending on the direction the telescopes are pointing, the clusters listed in the following list are either on the superuniverse level or in the first level of outer space or even in the second level. I would like to point out that all the illustrations are from the Simply Space website. Each of the clusters described in this list contains billions of galaxies, nebulae, quasars, stars, etc.
¶ The Bouvier super cluster
It contains 2 super clusters. The closest is 830 million light years away. The second is 1 billion light years away.
¶ Saraswati Supercluster
It extends over a space 600 million light years in diameter.
¶ The great wall of CFA2
Discovered in 1989. Its dimensions are between 50 and 750 million light years.
¶ The Caelum supercluster
Discovered in the 1980s. It spans 910 million light years.
¶ Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex
Discovered in 1987. It contains the Virgo Supercluster which contains our galaxy, the Milky Way. It has a diameter of 110 million light years.
¶ Filament of Perseus-Pegasus
Discovered in 1985. It extends approximately 1 billion light-years from Urantia.
¶ The Great Wall Boss
Discovered in 1976. It measures approximately 1 billion light years in diameter. It is 10,000 times the size of our galaxy.
¶ The South Pole wall
It spans 1.4 billion light years.
¶ The Great Wall of Sloan
It was discovered in 2003. Located 1 billion light years from Urantia, it is approximately 1.37 billion light years long.
¶ Clowes-Campusano LQG
Discovered in 1991. It is located 9.5 billion light years away. It is approximately 2 billion light years long and 1 billion light years wide.
¶ U1.11
It was discovered in 2011. It has an estimated diameter of 1.2 billion light-years. It is located approximately 8.8 billion light-years from Urantia.
¶ The Giant Arc
Recently discovered. It extends 3.3 billion light-years into space. It is located 9.2 billion light-years from Urantia.
¶ Huge LQG
Discovered in 2013. It is located approximately 9 billion light-years from Urantia.
¶ GRB Giant Ring
Discovered in 2015. It is located approximately 9.1 billion light-years from Urantia. Its diameter is approximately 5 to 6 billion light-years.
¶ Hercules — Great Wall Corona Borealis
Discovered in 2013. It is 18 to 23 billion light-years in diameter and is approximately 15 to 17 billion light-years from Urantia.
There you have it! I hope that this foray into the realm of outer space has been useful in giving you an idea, even partial, of what the Father has planned for us!
