Astronomers unveil Quipu as largest known structure in the universe

Astronomers have discovered a new superstructure called Quipu, which is now the largest known structure in the universe, spanning about 1.3 billion light-years. This discovery surpasses the previously largest structure, the Shapley supercluster. Quipu consists of galaxy clusters and clusters of clusters, containing around 200 quadrillion solar masses. It was identified in a study focusing on redshifted objects between 425 million and 815 million light-years from Earth. The study also found four other large structures, including the Serpens-Corona Borealis superstructure and the Hercules supercluster. Together, these five superstructures account for a significant portion of the observable universe's matter and galaxy clusters.
