"Discovery of Einasto Supercluster: A Galactic Behemoth of Unprecedented Scale"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Space.com
Astronomers have discovered a massive galaxy supercluster named the "Einasto Supercluster," which is as massive as 26 quadrillion suns and located 3 billion light-years away. This finding could provide insights into the formation of superclusters, dark matter, and dark energy. The average supercluster in the sample has a mass of around 6 quadrillion solar masses and a size of around 200 million light-years across. The study also revealed that galaxies within superclusters grow and evolve differently from those outside, and further investigations could help unravel the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy.
