Orbital construction and supply mission cost would drop dramatically.

In addition to the two imaging subsystems and a DUV laser spectrometer, the Mars 2020 rover carries an external SHERLOC Calibration Target (SCT). The SCT is affixed to the front of the rover and includes ten calibration targets to enable instrument calibration on the Mars Surface. Figure 1 captures the ten calibration targets and their location within the calibration target palette.

Cosmic Eye


This is the original landscape-format version of the short movie Cosmic Eye, designed by astrophysicist Danail Obreschkow. The movie zooms through all well-known scales of the universe from minuscule elementary particles out to the gigantic cosmic web. In doing so, it shows the ultimate size comparison in our universe. The video drew inspiration from a progression of increasingly accurate graphical representations of the scales of the universe, including the classical essay "Cosmic View" by Kees Boeke (1957), the short movie "Cosmic Zoom" by Eva Szasz (1968), and the legendary movie "Powers of Ten" by Charles and Ray Eames (1977). Cosmic Eye takes these earlier representations to the state-of-the-art by displaying real photographs obtained with modern detectors, telescopes, and microscopes. Other views are renderings of modern computer models. Smart vector-based blending techniques are used to create a seamless zoom.

Spooky Alignment of Quasars Across Billions of Light-years (Galactic Internet)

https://www.eso.org/public/usa/news/eso1438/

https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2014/12/aa24631-14/aa24631-14.html

This artist's impression shows schematically the mysterious alignments between the spin axes of quasars and the large-scale structures that they inhabit that observations with ESO’s Very Large Telescope have revealed. These alignments are over billions of light-years and are the largest known in the Universe.

The large-scale structure is shown in blue and quasars are marked in white with the rotation axes of their black holes indicated with a line.

This picture is for illustration only and does not depict the real distribution of galaxies and quasars.

I like to imagine a massive data transport system that would be much faster than light by using the existing photonic system of pulsars and quasars as markers or lighthouses connecting black and white holes in 2D space
