The cosmic superstructure Quipu is more than 13,000 times the length of the Milky Way, and its mass is 200 quadrillion times ...

With a length of 428 megaparsecs, or around 1.39 billion light-years, the superstructure is the biggest ever spotted.

Experts emphasize that the cosmic microwave background is shaped by everything it encounters on its journey, including ...

Newly discovered Quipu, a superstructure in which galaxies group together in clusters and clusters of clusters, is the ...

The name Quipu was borrowed from a counting system from the ancient Incan Empire that involved knotted ropes, similar to the structure of Quipu (just swap out ropes for massive galaxies, clusters ...

It is not surprising that there are regions that are more densely populated by galaxies, and regions that are less populated.

Results of the study, published Jan. 28 on the pre-print server arXiv, yield essential details regarding the structure of ... most massive young star clusters in our galaxy. Due to its youth ...

It’s almost globular cluster season. One of the mysteries of our galaxy and every other, these dense groupings of up to a million stars—the most massive and oldest star clusters in the ...

But astronomers previously discovered that the core of the Phoenix cluster appeared surprisingly bright, and the central galaxy seemed to be churning out stars at an extremely vigorous rate.

Using NASA's Chandra and ESA's XMM-Newton spacecraft, an international team of astronomers have performed X-ray observations of a nearby low-mass galaxy cluster designated PSZ2 G181.06+48.47.

Observations made of galaxy clusters ... 5% of the cluster's total mass. An estimated 80% is thought to be invisible dark matter, whose gravitational pull binds the entire structure together.

Largest Discovery: Quipu is the biggest structure found in the Universe. Content: Along with four other superstructures, it holds 45% of galaxy clusters, 30% of galaxies, 25% of matter, and occupies ...
