The researchers named this discovery “Quipu,” taking inspiration from the knotted string recording system once used by the Incas.
Observed as a long strand with smaller threads branching off, the Quipu superstructure contains 68 galaxy clusters with a combined mass of about 2.4 × 10^17 solar masses.
Its size of roughly 1.4 billion light-years makes Quipu the largest superstructure ever accurately measured, surpassing the Sloan Great Wall’s 1.1 billion light-years.
I’m not even in the slightest bit capable of comprehending how big that is.
I cannot get my head around how fast light speed is.
I cannot get my head around 1.4 billion years.
So I sure as hell cannot imagine a distance that is 1.4 billion years travelling at light speed.
It’s just incomprehensible.
When I try to understand this incomprehensible fact, my brain ends up rebooting with a blue screen of death.
Yeah, it can get into the list at [List of largest cosmic structures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_cosmic_structures), but not at the top.
From end to end, how long is the observable universe itself? Is this something we know already? 1.4 billion light years is simply incomprehensible to the human mind.
I feel so small and insignificant.
This statistic has nothing to do with it, I just needed to tell someone.
That must have taken a while to put together. I can relate. I put a book shelf together that I got at Target last week.
Your mom…I don’t mind the downvotes. Was sooo worth it.
Beautiful pic tho. Ty.
What does this actually mean? Is this just a bunch of galaxies located close together? Why is this important? Genuine question I love space.
And billionaires have a new record to try and break
If it’s the Xeelee we should probably not get involved
Don’t worry everyone, it still fits in my pants no problem
that is one 10th of the entire visible universe, isn’t it? I can’t comprehend how they can measure that and I don’t know that there’s a qualifier for such size
Scientists are considering to call it Yomamaeia.
Huh? It’s a galaxy clisterv how is that a structure?
Here what that looksike in miles
8,230,600,000,000,000,000,000
Or about 74,750,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Bananas for scale.
