Astronomers believe that they have discovered the largest structure in a well -known universe, which is an object consisting of a network of interconnected clusters and super -excesses of galaxies. This structure was called a pile in honor of the ancient counting system of the Inca, presented in the form of a rope with nodes and threads attached to it. The study is published on the ARXIV preprint server, writes Intersting Engineering.

The cpend cosmic structure consists of the central thread of the clusters of the galaxies and the additional threads diverging from it filled with other clusters of the galaxies. The total length of the largest structure in the famous universe is 1.3 billion light years, which is 13,000 times more than the Milky Way. At the same time, the mass of the structure is 200 quadrillion times more than the mass of the sun. Given the size of the new cosmic structure, it is larger than the supercontation of the Laniaca galaxies in the local universe, the size of which is estimated at 520 million light years.

Astronomers discovered a new structure in the framework of efforts to apply matter to the distribution map in the universe. Scientists have discovered not only a kipa, but also 4 other massive structures consisting of clusions of galaxies at a distance of 425 million to 815 million light years from Earth.

Astronomers believe that even larger and massive space structures can be further. Now the Great Wall of Hercules-Saver Crown, a huge concentration of matter at a distance of about 10 million light years from us, is considered the largest well-known structure, although its existence is still being discussed.

Astronomers saw these superships affect a more extensive part of the universe. It turned out that they have an impact on relict radiation remaining from a large explosion, which is evenly distributed throughout the cosmos.

Scientists also found that the movements of galaxies in these structures can distort data on the speed of expansion of the universe. Also, a huge gravity of these structures can cause gravitational lenses, that is, the curvature of light and distortion of distant images of space.

Scientists intend to find out how these large -scale structures affected the evolution of galaxies. At the same time, scientists say that Kipu and other discovered structures are temporary, because the expansion of the Universe gradually breaks them into parts.

Focus also wrote that scientists from Kharkov found out why the most massive decline in spacecraft occurred in history. In February 2022, SpaceX specialists and the entire space industry were shocked by the loss of 38 Starlink satellites at once. The satellites were in an intermediate low orbit.

Focus wrote that scientists told which of the planets of the solar system is the least suitable for space tourism.

Focus also wrote that astronomers revealed the secret of the sun. They discovered a source of high -speed plasma and were very surprised. Scientists have finally found out what exactly is the source of the solar wind.
