Astronomers have discovered what may be the largest-scale structure in the known universe — a group of galaxy clusters and clusters of galaxy clusters that spans roughly 1.3 billion light-years across and contains a mind-boggling 200 quadrillion solar masses.
The newfound structure is dubbed Quipu after an Incan system of counting and storing numbers using knots on cords.

The structures reported in the new study were all detected between roughly 425 million and 815 million light-years from Earth. Prior studies suggest that even larger structures exist deeper into the cosmos. The current contender for the largest structure in the universe is the Hercules Corona-Borealis Great Wall, a mysterious concentration of matter located roughly 10 billion light-years from Earth, and spanning an estimated 10 billion light-years across. However, the Great Wall's existence remains disputed.

"You can see it from space"
Interesting chart but where is Earth in relationship to it?
“And then, Quipu wiped the slide dry, with his thumb, to reuse it…”
I tend to take these claims with a huge grain of salt, to be quite honest. But maybe. Because it’s hard to prove or disprove. Claims, however, are easy to put forth.
Someone has too much time on their hands: in the meantime the shortage of plumbers threatens the nation’s core values, even when they can make up to $200K per year.
This is the sort of article MSN should stick to. Everything else they write sucks. Interesting, makes you realize how small we are. Sometime during the 60’s I was with my father tuna fishing by the Hudson Canyons. About 40 miles or so off shore. The night sky was just brilliant, the Milky Way clearly visible. Only other times I’ve seen the night sky like that was about 200 miles northwest of Montreal on a camping and fishing trip.
Was this found in the universe, the Metaverse, or the multiverse?
Thanks for this thread.
It makes us realize that we are so insignificant while CNN is totally insignificant
In less mind-boggling and easier to understand units, how many dozens of Chris Christies is that?
Indeed.
Wait! If it's the center of Quipu that is roughly between 425 million and 815 million light-years from Earth, and Quipu has a radius of approximately 1/2 of 1.3 billion light-years, Earth could be inside Quipu.
Those have been consolidated and renamed the MAGAverse.
A judge has blocked the renaming but it should appear in the star charts soon...
I like your star map in #15. It properly locates the Milky War and, by extension, us in the center of the universe where we belong.
