Astronomers have discovered the largest structure in the local universe, which is called Kip in honor of the Accounting System of Inca. The mass of this super structure is estimated at 200 quadrillions (unit with 15 zeros) masses of the sun. Moreover, the length of the pile is 1.3 billion light years. One light year is almost 9.5 trillion kilometers. For comparison, the diameter of the Earth is 12.7 thousand kilometers, and the size of our Galaxy Milky Way is 100 thousand light years. Scientists say that such a supership greatly affects its environment and its study will help to understand how the galaxies evolve, as well as the whole universe. The study is accepted for the publication in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics, writes Sciencealert.

Cosmic superships are extremely huge objects, which consist of clusters and super -excesses of galaxies united by gravity. These structures have such a large mass and size that their existence challenges an understanding of how the universe evolved.

So far, Kipu is the largest supership in the local universe, that is, in our nearest area of \u200b\u200bspace. Its and four other superships found it and another when studying part of the universe at a distance of 130 to 250 megaparsec from us. One megapartek is a million parsecs, and one parsek is 3.25 light year. According to scientists, Kipu and four other superships contain 45% of the clusters of galaxies, 30% of galaxies and 25% of the matter of local universe.

Scientists called the super -structure of the pile, because it resembles a long rope with nodes that the Incas used to account. In this case, a long structure is an object where the galaxies accumulations are represented by nodes.

To identify the new super -structure of astronomers used X -ray radiation of galaxies accumulations. With the help of this radiation, you can detect the most dense areas of the concentration of matter in space, which is combined with gravity.

According to scientists, a lot of such superships has a huge impact of attempts to better understand the universe.

According to scientists, such superships are crucial for understanding the universe. They hold a significant part of her matter and fundamentally affect their environment. At the same time, the study of superships helps to better understand the evolution of galaxies and the entire space.

Also, the authors of the study say that Kipu and other detected massive structures will not exist forever and will certainly break up to parts, because these are temporary structures.

It is worth noting that the standard cosmological model of the evolution of the Universe allows the existence of superships of not more than 1.2 light years. Thus, scientists cannot yet explain how larger objects consisting of accumulations and super -excesses of galaxies exist in the universe.

To date, the largest supership in the observed universe is a group of accumulations and super -excesses of galaxies called the Great Wall of Hercules - the Northern Crown. The length of this structure is 10 billion light years. That is, to move the lights of lights flying at the speed of light, that is, photons, from one end of the structure to the other, it will take 10 billion years. For comparison, the Universe has existed 13.8 billion years.

As Focus already wrote, there is a chance that after 157 years a 500-meter asteroid Bennu in the ground. Scientists have found out what will happen on our planet after a blow.

Focus also wrote that astronomers discovered a cosmic explosion that cannot be explained, but may be associated with an extremely rare occurrence of black holes.
