Recent astronomical research has unveiled a massive superstructure in the universe known as 'Quipu', identified through data from a German space telescope that has been inactive for over 25 years.

According to the scientists on the team, the discovery was made by ROAST, a German-operated satellite telescope, and the superstructure has been named “Quipu.” Quipu is estimated to span an ...

The superstructure "Quipu," recently identified, spans 1.3 billion light-years, challenging our understanding of the distribution of matter in space. This discovery, resulting from a study published ...

Newly discovered Quipu, a superstructure in which galaxies group together in clusters and clusters of clusters, is the largest known structure in the universe in terms of length, scientists claim.

In an as-yet unpublished paper titled “Unveilling the Largest Structures in the Nearby Universe: Discovery of the Quipu Superstructure” (Hans Bohringer et al), a team of researchers discovered an ...
