Largest celestial object of its kind discovered in the distant universe
Astronomers used an array of telescopes to find the most massive radio jet in the early universe. The celestial object is hundreds of thousands of light-years long.
Astronomers just found the largest known object in the entire universe
Researchers say they've discovered the largest known object in the universe, a galactic superstructure called Quipu.
Astronomers have spotted the largest known object in the universe
The Quipu superstructure is enormous, spanning 1.4 billion light years – and it could violate one of our fundamental assumptions about the universe
Astronomers find the largest structure in the universe and name it Quipu
Is it possible to understand the universe without understanding the largest structures that reside in it? In principle, not likely. In practical terms? Definitely not. Extremely large objects can distort our understanding of the cosmos.
Astronomers discover Quipu, the largest superstructure in the universe: “deserve special attention”
Solar masses are a unit of measurement used in astronomy to express the mass of other celestial objects in comparison to the mass of the Sun.
