      Everything seems strange and first until you understand it. Then it’s just normal. Probably the stangest thing though is something called a gravitational lens. Basically a really big galaxy bends the light from a really distant objcet, like a glass lens does, but it makes the background galaxies look really weird and strange.

      That the expansion of the universe is speeding up, when all of the physics we know says it should be slowing down!
