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.

Astronomers discover Quipu, the largest known structure in the universe

For decades, scientists have worked to map the universe’s large-scale structure, testing cosmological models and investigating how galaxies form and evolve. Most studies describe these massive formations statistically, but direct mapping provides insight into their distinct structures and interactions. One of the most exciting developments in this field is constraint reconstructions, which use data to model matter distribution in the local unive…

Astronomers discover 'Quipu', the single largest structure in the...

Astronomers have discovered what may be the largest-scale structure in the known universe — a group of galaxy clusters and clusters of galaxy clusters that spans roughly 1.3 billion light-years across and contains a mind-boggling 200 quadrillion solar masses. The newfound structure is dubbed Quipu after an Incan system of counting and storing numbers using knots on cords. Like a Quipu cord, the structure is complex, made up of one long filament …
