- Astronomers have identified what could be the largest structure ever found in the known universe.
- This massive formation is named “Quipu."
- It stretches an astonishing 1.3 billion light-years approx. across and contains an estimated 200 quadrillion solar masses.
- Quipu’s immense is scaled over 13,000 times the length of the Milky Way.
- This is the longest-known structure in the universe and surpassing the previous record-holders like the Laniākea supercluster.
- Along with it, four other massive superstructures were also found: the Shapley supercluster, the Serpens-Corona Borealis superstructure, the Hercules super cluster and the Sculptor-Pegasus superstructure.
- These five superstructures together make up about 45 per cent of galaxy clusters, 30 per cent of galaxies and 25 per cent of the matter in the universe.
- They cover roughly 13 per cent of the universe’s volume.
