"Unveiling the Enormous Galactic Ring: A Challenge to Our Universe's Physics"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Space.com
An enormous intergalactic ring-shaped superstructure of galaxies and galaxy clusters, dubbed the "Big Ring," has been discovered, spanning 1.3 billion light-years in diameter and challenging current cosmological theory. This structure, along with the even larger "Giant Arc in the Sky," raises questions about the formation of such immense superstructures and their implications for our understanding of the universe. The discovery may hint at exotic forms of known physics or even new physics, such as Conformal Cyclic Cosmology or cosmic strings, as potential explanations for these enigmatic structures.
