- Scientists have found an enormous ring-shaped structure called the Big Ring.
- It was positioned an astonishing 9.2 billion light-years away from Earth.
- This massive cosmic formation is made up of galaxies and clusters of galaxies.
- Its diameter is approximately 1.3 billion light-years and a total circumference of around 4 billion light-years.
- It appears to be roughly 15 times the size of the Moon in the night sky as seen from Earth.
- It is the second giant structure discovered in 2021 by Lopez and her colleagues.
- The first, called the Giant Arc, is actually in the same part of the sky, at the same distance away.
