The largest known structure in the universe has been discovered by astronomers this month in a scientific breakthrough. It is ...

The Quipu superstructure is enormous, spanning 1.4 billion light years – and it could violate one of our fundamental ...

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 ...

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 ...

In another shot to our cosmic ego, scientists have discovered a new superstructure, named Quipu, that stretches 1.39 billion light-years across and contains the equivalent mass of 200 quadrillion ...

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 ...

Newly discovered Quipu, a superstructure in which galaxies group together in clusters and clusters of clusters, is the largest known structure in the universe in terms of length, scientists claim.

A quipu is an ancient recording device used by Andean civilizations, and particularly the Incas. It consists of a series of colored strings of various lengths, with knots tied in different positions.

In a major space breakthrough, astronomers have discovered a structure that may be the largest known in the universe: Quipu. Named after the Incan system of knotted cords used for recording ...

Astronomers have found the largest structure in the universe so far, named Quipu after an Incan measuring system. It contains a shocking 200 quadrillion solar masses. Astronomy is an endeavor ...

Previously regarded as the largest superstructure in space, it has now been eclipsed by at least four others, including Quipu. | Credit: ESA & Planck Collaboration / Rosat/ Digitised Sky Survey ...
