Quipu: Largest Structure in the Universe

Scientists have discovered a structure 13,000 times larger than our Milky Way galaxy. This structure, called ‘Quipu’, is said to be the largest structure in the universe. It is also known that there are four other giant structures next to Quipu.

The largest structure in the universe, named Quipu after the Inca civilization of Central America, is an astronomical unit. According to scientists, the superstructure spans an astonishing 1.3 billion light-years, which is 13,000 times the length of our Milky Way. As a result, it would take 1.3 billion light-years to travel from one end of the structure to the other.

Until now, a structure called the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall was considered the largest structure in the universe. This structure is located 100 million light-years away from Earth. However, there is debate among scientists about the existence of the structure. Therefore, scientists are deeply analyzing the five newly discovered supercluster structures.

According to scientists, Quipu is actually a huge structure. The structure is being observed without the help of any detection method. The gravitational pull is also created due to Quipu. Although the superstructure is currently huge in size, it will soon collapse and then different galaxies will be seen independently.

Superclusters are what scientists call large collections of galaxy mergers, galaxy groups, and individual galaxies. They are usually not gravitationally bound to each other. Our Milky Way galaxy lies on the outer edge of the Laniakea Supercluster.
