Hi all,


Regarding the example given in http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/magazine/physicstoday/article/69/8/10.1063/PT.3.3277




Are there any isolated galaxies or are they all clustered?

Are the clusters clustered or are they not? If so, are the clusters of clusters randomly located, etc.??

How does this relate to the Poisson distribution that “predicts” clustering?


bc astronomically ignorant.
