Astronomers have been mapping vast cosmic structures for decades, from galaxy clusters to immense superclusters. But esearchers have identified what they say is officially the largest known object in universe—a massive cosmic structure stretches 1.4 billion light-years across & contains nearly 70 galactic superclusters.


Recently discovered structure is called Quipu. It was found by a team of astronomers led by Hans Böhringer @Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich, Germany. Name comes from an ancient Incan counting system made of knotted ropes,
visually resembles vast interconnected web of galaxies that make up this structure.

Quipu surpasses previous record-holding largest cosmic objects, including the Sloan Great Wall and the Laniakea Supercluster, both of which were once considered the largest formations in the known universe.
