The superstructure "Quipu," recently identified, spans 1.3 billion light-years, challenging our understanding of the ...

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.

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 ...

For decades, scientists have worked to map the universe’s large-scale structure, testing cosmological models and ...

Then there's Quipu, the newly discovered cosmic structure that contains 70 linked superclusters and spans 1.4 billion lightyears across the darkness of space. The structure was discovered by a ...

The Quipu project was developed as a way for those affected by the sterilisation programme to share their stories and experiences. Fusing internet technology with the radio and mobile phone technology ...

Scientists have recorded the largest structure in the known universe, Quipu, which is about 1.3 billion light-years wide.

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.

The Quipu project is an innovative form of participatory research with communities affected by forced sterilisation in Peru (Brown and Tucker 2017). It is a collaboration between transmedia ...

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 ...

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 ...
