Largest structure in known universe discovered, 13,000 times longer than Milky Way
Astronomers have identified what could be the largest structure ever observed in the known universe—a vast network of galaxy clusters and superclusters containing an astonishing 200 quadrillion solar masses.
Astronomers find the largest structure in the universe and name it Quipu
Is it possible to understand the universe without understanding the largest structures that reside in it? In principle, not likely. In practical terms? Definitely not. Extremely large objects can distort our understanding of the cosmos.
Largest cosmic structure 'Quipu' challenges universe models
Astronomers have discovered the largest structure in the universe, named Quipu. It has a mass of 200 quadrillion solar masses and may change our perception of the cosmos. According to Science Alert, astronomers have identified the largest known structure in the universe,
Astronomers Just Found the Biggest Structure in the Universe—And It’s a Cosmic Monster
In the vast expanse of the universe, astronomers have just uncovered a colossal cosmic structure, breaking all previous records for size and mass. Named Quipu, this newly discovered superstructure spans an astonishing 1.
At 1.3 Billion Light-Years Wide, Quipu Is Officially The Biggest Thing in The Universe
Is it possible to understand the Universe without understanding the largest structures that reside in it? In principle, not likely.
