Discovered through gamma-ray burst mapping. Largest-known regular formation in the observable universe. [8] Huge-LQG (2012–2013) 4,000,000,000 [9] [10] [11] Decoupling of 73 quasars. Largest-known large quasar group and the first structure found to exceed 3 billion light-years. "The Giant Arc" (2021) 3,300,000,000 [12] Located 9.2 billion ...
Map is one of the most precise measurements of how ‘stuff’ is distributed through the cosmos
The universe also has vast regions of relative emptiness; the largest known void measures 1.8 billion ly (550 Mpc) across. [114] Comparison of the contents of the universe today to 380,000 years after the Big Bang, as measured with 5 year WMAP data (from 2008). [115] Due to rounding, the sum of these numbers is not 100%.
The Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall (HCB) [1] [5] or simply the Great Wall [6] is a galaxy filament that is the largest known structure in the observable universe, measuring approximately 10 billion light-years in length (the observable universe is about 93 billion light-years in diameter).
This week, see the first cosmic images taken by the Euclid telescope, read 265-year-old letters, uncover the volcanic threat lurking beneath Italy, and more.
A new perspective of the cosmos. Euclid’s wide perspective can record data from a part of the sky 100 times bigger than what NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s camera can capture.
The sizes are listed in units of Jupiter radii (R J, 71 492 km).This list is designed to include all planets that are larger than 1.6 times the size of Jupiter.Some well-known planets that are smaller than 1.6 R J (17.93 R 🜨 or 114 387.2 km) have been included for the sake of comparison.
It was believed that the cutoff for round objects is somewhere between 100 km and 200 km in radius if they have a large amount of ice in their makeup; [1] however, later studies revealed that icy satellites as large as Iapetus (1,470 kilometers in diameter) are not in hydrostatic equilibrium at this time, [2] and a 2019 assessment suggests that ...
