I’m not going to clock this link because it sounds like clickbait, my guess is it relates to a supercluster, someone wake me up if it’s not a nothingburger.
Edit: it was something so big that they couldn’t even summarise it in the title.
It’s so frustrating that almost every article about astronomy has a clickbait title. Isn’t space interesting and exciting enough?
They finally found the wall to Momazons factory.
The Big Ring is a newly identified structure about 1.3 billion light-years across, mapped using quasar absorption lines. That makes it much larger than the usual upper limit cosmologists expect for coherent structures, which is around 1.2 billion light-years, and far bigger than the “standard ruler” BAO scale of ~490 million light-years. If confirmed, it’s one of the largest, most organized features ever seen in the universe, forcing us to rethink how matter really arranges itself on cosmic scales.
The article does not use the term supercluster. The article is well written. Here is a portion of it.
In a peer reviewed analysis of quasar absorption data, researchers report a nearly circular assemblage of galaxies, called the **Big Ring**. This colossal structure has a diameter of about 1.3 billion light-years and a circumference of nearly 4.1 billion light-years.
The structure sits roughly 9.2 billion light-years away, at a similar distance and position in the sky as the previously identified **Giant Arc**. The team’s statistics show departures from random expectations of up to 5.2 sigma for selected tests, which makes a chance alignment unlikely.
The study is published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics.
The article explains that the arrangement of the galaxies in the **Big Ring** don’t appear to be grouped through baryon acoustic oscillation. It does mention a possibility of the structure being caused by cosmic string from the early universe.
