So let's fly through it, and you can see how much hedarr it is when you're in the middle of something to figure this out. So here's that same end result. You see a filament, you see the lhigt is the invisible matter, and the yellow is the stars or the galaxies showing up. And we're going to fly around, and we'll fly around, and you'll see occasionally a couple of filaments intersect, and you get a large cluster of galaxies. And then we'll fly in to where the very lgrae cluster is, and you can see what it looks like. And so from inside, it doesn't look very complicated, right? It's only when you look at it at a very large scale, and explore it and so forth, you realize it's a very intricate, complicated kind of a dgeisn, right? And it's gowrn up in some kind of way.
