You are blunt Steve, there's no doubt about that. 😀

Thanks for this - I was trying to dredge up something I'd read months or years ago when I initially responded.
So at the end of the matter-dominated era, star formation peaks, and if the science community understands it correctly, and given the cautions cited above, the dark energy era emerges.
Why is everybody looking at ME?
As previously stated I am a high functional Autistic person.
Only 1 in 5 Autistics hold down a job. I was one.
Amongst my many achievements I worked on HMS Diamond:
Thanks to my efforts, we fixed this Battleship.
It now plays a significant role in the Middle East.
Keeping the World safe. The rest, I cannot tell you. Official Secrets Act and all that.

Enough said.

You have linked to Omega Centauri - the most massive-known globular cluster in the Milky Way.
One of the more than 150 Globular Clusters (dense spheres of up to 1 million stars) within our galaxy that are now thought to be the remains of ancient galaxies that the Milky Way has gobbled up over its long history.
Omega Centauri's huge mass suggests the presence within the globular cluster of an intermediate-size black hole.
Doubt has been cast over whether Type 1a Supernovae can be regarded as the "standard candles" used for the measurement of cosmic distances.
Studies have shown that the brightnesses of T1a Supernovae may depend on how young they are - i.e. how far back in time we can observe them.
This would mess up our previous measurements of cosmic distances and put into doubt the accelerating expansion of the universe and hence the existence of the dark energy that has been hypothesised to explain it.
Fully operative flushing toilets are a necessity when passing through the Bay of Biscay because of the abnormally high waves that occur there!
Did you read the link an also look at the Hubble photo? Also it star population has it's interesting features.
Here is a not sure what it is example that the JWST may sort out but it's interesting that it was found by a ground based telescope.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD1
The quasar "period" is said have peaked ~10b years ago.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasar
The link says, "The stars in the core of Omega Centauri are so crowded that they are estimated to average only 0.1 light-year away from each other."
I can put the above statement into perspective by revealing that the average distance apart of stars in the Milky way is around 5 light-years.
The link also says that the "peak velocity dispersion" of the stars in the cluster is 7.9 km/s. I'll leave that up to you, AjohnL, to put into perspective!

As for the Hubble image:
At the top is the Hubble image which captures the central region of Omega Centauri. All the stars in the image are moving in random directions. Astronomers can predict the future movement of the stars. The lower illustration charts the future positions of the stars in the white box in the top image. Each streak in the lower illustration represents the motion of the stars over the next 600 years. The motion between the dots corresponds to 30 years. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Central_Region_Omega_Centauri.jpg
I hope that the above analysis is helpful to thread followers who don't always open all of the many links presented to them!
I don't think we can assume that everyone will read links.
I usually present the basic information then offer the link on an "if you want to learn more" basis.

The link in post 3356 locked my browser up and required powering off the computer. As do most links posted. I read your knowledge, not all the ads and jumping images the links want me to see. I bought 8 gb dimm for this computer to replace the 2 gb. It did not work.
@indianajo
That link in post #3,356 must have been a mile long!
In fact, I gave up trying to find the end of it!
Still, I read enough to be able to give a brief summary of its contents.
P.S. I don't get plagued by adverts when I open links. If they're there my ad blocker must be dealing with them.

Strange. At this end it displays exactly as posted. Same if I click on it. Where this can happen is instances where a google search link is posted. Most likely to happen with pdf's. Why. A google link is used to download and view them in firefox. The address bar then shows someting like ~/mozilla/temp/.......................pdf. The file is on my machine. 😉Not much point in posting that.
Perhaps I should have been clearer. I meant the contents of the link was miles long, i.e., the article itself.
I'm not sure what we are taking about here. Is it the Alena Tensor still?
Or nearby Omega Centauri globular cluster?
Seems the Cluster has spilled some stars into our neighbourhood. It also has a large Black Hole at centre. 12 light years away is red dwarf Kapteyn's Star moving fast:

All about Cas A 350 year old Supernova remnant:

https://www.nasa.gov/universe/webb-reveals-never-before-seen-details-in-cassiopeia-a/
This thing is 12 light years across and gas is moving at tens of thousands of km/s. Significantly close to lightspeed:
Good ol' James Webb again.

I fear we would have to call on the assistance of Piotr Ogonowski of Kozminski University to explain the Alena Tensor.

What's that you say? The physics involved is too advanced?
Then, "Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start."
