Newly discovered Quipu, a superstructure in which galaxies group together in clusters and clusters of clusters, is the largest known structure in the universe in terms of length, scientists claim.

The superstructure "Quipu," recently identified, spans 1.3 billion light-years, challenging our understanding of the distribution of matter in space. This discovery, resulting from a study published ...

Astronomers have found the largest structure in the universe so far, named Quipu after an Incan measuring system. It contains a shocking 200 quadrillion solar masses.

Quipu is not alone in its grandeur. The researchers also identified four other massive superstructures, each rivaling some of the largest known formations in the universe. These include the ...
