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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The cosmic superstructure Quipu is more than 13,000 times the length of the Milky Way, and its mass is 200 quadrillion times that of the sun, according to preliminary research Margherita Bassi ...

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 ...

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 ...
