Galaxy Structure distribution in density gradients. White, Olive & Gray are the Densest volumes – Black & Blue the least dense volumes.<\/strong> The density ratio to the average density is shown by six contour levels: 0 \u2013 0.23 (black), 0.23 \u2013 0.62 (dark blue), 0.62 \u2013 1.13 (light blue), 1.13 \u2013 1.9 (grey), 1.9 \u2013 3.7 (olive), and > 3.7 (white). The clusters of the five superstructures are overplotted with filled black circles. Image Credit: Bohringer et al. 2025.<\/p><\/div>\n

News: Feb 7, 2025: A newly identified structure in our Universe is immensely larger than all previously identified galaxy Sheets, Filaments or Voids<\/strong>. (1)<\/p>\n

It is more than 1.3 Billion light years long<\/strong>; so large it encompasses some 13 percent of our observed Universe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The discoverers named it Quipu<\/strong> after after an ancient South American communication system<\/a> used primarily by Incas.<\/p>\n

Universe’s Largest Newly Discovered Superstructures<\/strong>.
Quipu in red is the largest structure ever found in the Universe<\/strong>. The others include Shapley in blue, Serpens-Corona Borealis in green, Hercules in purple and Sculptor-Pegasus in vanilla.

Commentary:<\/strong> Of course this coherent structure is massively too large to explain assembling in a mere 14 billion years.<\/p>\n

It is just one more earthquake in the recent avalanche of unsolveable problems burying the few remaining Big Bang supporters.<\/p>\n
