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

Composition and Structure: The structure consists of galaxy filaments connected in a pattern similar to cosmic "threads," much like how Inca Quipu cords were arranged. It is made up of galaxy ...

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.

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 ...

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 identified a colossal cosmic structure in space. Named "Quipu," this vast formation stretches 1.3 billion light-years across. Scientists say it could reshape our understanding of ...

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 ...

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.

Astronomers have identified what could be the largest structure ever found in the known universe. This massive formation, named “Quipu," stretches an astonishing 1.3 billion light-years across and ...

This image shows five newly discovered superstructures. Quipu (red) is the largest structure ever found in the universe. The others are Shapley (blue), Serpens-Corona Borealis (green), Hercules ...
