Astronomers discover Quipu as largest known structure in the universe

Astronomers have discovered Quipu, the largest known structure in the Universe, measuring over 1.3 billion light-years and containing 200 quadrillion solar masses. This superstructure significantly influences our understanding of cosmic evolution and measurements. Quipu and four other superstructures were identified using X-ray galaxy clusters in a recent study. These structures contain a large portion of the Universe's matter and affect observations, including the Cosmic Microwave Background and the Hubble constant. The research highlights the importance of studying these superstructures to improve cosmological models. While they are currently significant, the authors note that these structures may eventually break apart in the future.
