Discover the largest cosmic structure ever

Japanese astronomers have discovered a giant cosmic structure shaped of water droplets up to 200 million light-years across, including the largest galaxies and giants from before.

Japanese astronomers have discovered a giant cosmological structure of water droplets up to 200 million light-years across, including the largest galaxies and giants ever in the universe.

This structure was recently discovered by the Subaru and Keck telescopes placed on top of Mount Mauna Kea. Galaxies in this structure are arranged nearly four times more than the average distance of other galaxies in the universe.

Some of the balloons are 400,000 light-years wide, almost twice the diameter of our neighboring constellation. Scientists think they form when giant stars are born in the universe, when the universe explodes like a meteor and flares up the gases around them.

Another theory is that these bubbles are giant gas packs that will one day produce new galaxies.

This finding will give researchers a new understanding of what the universe structure and 'predictable more massive structures of galaxies' may exist in the universe, according to the researcher. Rescue Ryosuke Yamauchi from Tohoku University.
