Newly discovered Quipu, a superstructure in which galaxies group together in clusters and clusters of clusters, is the ...

Researchers say they've discovered the largest known object in the universe, a galactic superstructure called Quipu.

In fact, the superstructure is estimated to hold an almost inconceivable 200 quadrillion (that's 200 followed by 15 zeros) ...

Astronomers have discovered the largest structure in the universe called Quipu, containing an impressive 200 quadrillion ...

But how did they manage to “zoom out” enough to make out which cluster was part of which ... the Sculptor-Pegasus ...

Solar masses are a unit of measurement used in astronomy to express the mass of other celestial objects in comparison to the ...

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

Quipu's sheer size potentially makes it the largest object in the universe in terms of length, surpassing previous ...

Named Quipu, the structure takes inspiration from the ancient Incan system of recording numbers using knotted cords. Much like a Quipu cord, the structure is intricate, consisting of a central ...

The newfound structure is dubbed Quipu after an Incan system of counting and storing ... the researchers reported in the paper. In total, they make up 13% of the universe's volume.

In total, they make up 13% of the universe's volume. This image shows the five newly discovered superstructures. Quipu (red) is the largest structure found in the local universe.

By analysing these signals, scientists were able to trace the connections between clusters, eventually revealing Quipu as an enormous cosmic network. This discovery also required the use of ...
