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 ...

The Incas had a system of accounting that relied on the quipu. Cords of various colours were attached to a main cord with knots. The number and position of knots as well as the colour of each cord ...

Astronomers have found the largest structure in the universe so far, named Quipu after an Incan measuring system. It contains a shocking 200 quadrillion solar masses. Astronomy is an endeavor ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
