Astronomers discover 'Quipu', the largest superstructure ever seen in the Universe; understand

Research is part of a work aimed at mapping the distribution of matter in the universe at different wavelengths of light. A newly identified cosmic structure may be the largest ever known in the universe, extending over approximately 1.3 billion light years and containing about 200 quadrillion solar masses. Named “Quipu” - in reference to the number counting and storage system used by the Incas with knots on strings -, the structure is composed …

In a systematic mapping of cosmic matter distribution with the help of X-ray observations, an extremely large structure was discovered.
