In a major space breakthrough, astronomers have discovered a structure that may be the largest known in the universe: Quipu. Named after the Incan system of knotted cords used for recording ...

A team of scientists has proposed a groundbreaking new theory on the Universe's origins, offering a fresh, radical take on ...

In the vast expanse of the universe, astronomers have just uncovered a colossal cosmic structure, breaking all previous records for size and mass. Named Quipu, this newly discovered superstructure ...

A colossal structure in the distant Universe is defying our understanding of how the Universe evolved. In light that has traveled for 6.9 billion years to reach us, astronomers have found a giant ...

Astronomy Gamma-ray bursts reveal largest structure in the universe is bigger and closer to Earth than we knew: 'The jury is still out on what it all means.' News By Robert Lea published April 20 ...

This structure is the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall, discovered about a decade ago. It replaced the Sloan Great Wall (SGW) as the largest structure: at 1.3 billion light-years across, the ...

Current simulations of cosmic structure formation do not accurately reproduce the properties of ghost-like particles called neutrinos that have been present in the Universe since its beginning.

Galaxies from the early Universe are more like our own Milky Way than previously thought, flipping the entire narrative of how scientists think about structure formation in the Universe, according ...

He says a theory known as MOND, for Modified Newtonian Dynamics, predicted in 1998 that structure formation in the early universe would have happened very quickly—much faster than the theory of ...

Dark energy may have a completely unknown aspect of physics acting as an accomplice in its efforts to defy gravity, suppressing the growth of large-scale structures like galaxy superclusters.

The Big Ring only deepens the mystery. "Neither of these two ultra-large structures is easy to explain in our current understanding of the universe," Lopez said in January 2024.
