With a length of 428 megaparsecs, or around 1.39 billion light-years, the superstructure is the biggest ever spotted.

Scientists say they've uncovered the "largest known galactic structure" — a cosmic monster that spans a mind-boggling 1.4 ...

Quipu, Hercules, Serpens–Corona Borealis and Sculptor–Pegasus are all larger than the fifth and final superstructure highlighted in the study, the Shapley supercluster, which had previously held the ...

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

The newfound structure was named Quipu, after an Incan counting system that involves using knots on cords. The knots convey information based on numbers, colors, and order. Quipu is considered the ...

Astronomers have discovered a cosmic superstructure so massive it reshapes our understanding of the universe's largest-scale ...

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 ...

The Quipu superstructure is enormous, spanning 1.4 billion light years – and it could violate one of our fundamental assumptions about the universe ...

Every discovery in the field of science provokes a rapid reaction from the entire community, which immediately analyzes in depth and in detail each new element. Space is one of the ...

According to the scientists on the team, the discovery was made by ROAST, a German-operated satellite telescope, and the superstructure has been named "Quipu." Quipu is estimated to span an ...

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.

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 ...
