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 ...

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 ...

“The Quipu superstructure, end to end, is slightly longer than the Sloan Great Wall,” says J. Richard Gott III at Princeton University, who helped discover the Sloan Great Wall ...

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.
