Astronomers have identified an unprecedented cosmic titan—a vast superstructure of galaxies stretching 1.3 billion light-years across, making it the single largest known structure in the universe.

For years, scientists have worked to chart the universe’s massive structure, aiming to test key models of cosmology. These efforts also help uncover how galaxies form and change over time. While most ...

To explore deep space is to come to grips with humanity’s ever-shrinking importance in the universe. In another shot to our cosmic ego, scientists have discovered a new superstructure, named Quipu, ...

Astronomers have discovered Quipu, the largest known cosmic structure, spanning 1.3 billion light-years and containing 200 quadrillion solar masses. Named after the Incan knotted cord system, Quipu's ...

Solar masses are a unit of measurement used in astronomy to express the mass of other celestial objects in comparison to the mass of the Sun. Quipu is the largest structure, in terms of length, ever ...

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 ...

Astronomers have revealed the largest known structure in the universe, which is made up of not only clusters of galaxies but also clusters of these clusters that form a gravitationally interacting ...
