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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

This recently discovered structure is called Quipu. It was found by a team of astronomers led by Hans Böhringer at the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich, Germany. The name comes from an ...

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 ...
