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.

Dubbed “Quipu” by its discoverers, this dense collection of concentrated galaxies and dark matter is changing how astronomers think about large-scale structures in the cosmos. The incredible discovery ...

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 ...
