Quipu: The Universe's Largest Known Structure at 1.3 Billion Light-Years Wide

Astronomers have confirmed the existence of the Quipu superstructure, the largest known entity in the universe, spanning over 1.3 billion light-years and composed of 200 quadrillion solar masses. This colossal formation influences cosmic measurements and galaxy evolution, but is transient, destined to break into smaller units over time. Its discovery challenges current cosmological models and enhances our understanding of the universe's vastness and structure.

Astronomers Discover the Universe's Largest Structure Spanning 7.6 Sextillion Miles

Astronomers have discovered Quipu, a cosmic filament over 1.3 billion light-years long and weighing around 200 quadrillion times the Sun's mass, making it the largest known structure in the universe. This massive filament influences galaxy motions, cosmic microwave background measurements, and provides insights into cosmic web formation, validating predictions from cosmological models.
