An Enormous, Branching String of Galaxy Clusters Is the Largest Known Structure in the Universe, Scientists Say
Meet Quipu, a new contender for the largest known structure in the universe. It’s essentially a giant cluster of galaxy clusters stretching approximately 1.3 billion light-years long—more than 13,000 times the length of our Milky Way.
Largest Structure In The Near Universe Discovered – 130,000 Times More Massive Than Our Galaxy
It is not surprising that there are regions that are more densely populated by galaxies, and regions that are less populated. The whole universe is organized in the so-called cosmic web, where galaxies and clusters are organized in strands and nodes, with mostly empty space in between. Those regions are called the voids.
