With a length of 428 megaparsecs, or around 1.39 billion light-years, the superstructure is the biggest ever spotted.

Scientists have discovered Quipu, the largest structure in the universe. Made up of multiple galaxy clusters, this structure creates a vast cosmic superstructure that spans 1.3 billion light years.

The Incas had a system of accounting that relied on the quipu. Cords of various colours were attached to a main cord with knots. The number and position of knots as well as the colour of each cord ...

The superstructure "Quipu," recently identified, spans 1.3 billion light-years, challenging our understanding of the distribution of matter in space. This discovery, resulting from a study published ...

Quipu, as it is called, was discovered by an international team led by Germany's Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE). Their study describing the superstructure has been ...

Named "Quipu" after an Incan measuring system, the superstructure spans an astonishing 1.3 billion light-years across which is over 13,000 times the length of the Milky Way, according to a report ...
