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 ...

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.

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 ...

It is not surprising that there are regions that are more densely populated by galaxies, and regions that are less populated.

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 ...

What is the Structure of Quipu? Quipu appears as an extensive filamentous network in which it is like Primary filament which is a long, thread-like arrangement of galaxies. From Side filaments ...

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 ...
