All about Quipu: A colossal cosmic structure Not just the mass of the superstructure was awe-inspiring, the object is more than 400 megaparsecs long, which translates to more than 1.3 billion ...

A quipu is an ancient recording device used by Andean civilizations, and particularly the Incas. It consists of a series of colored strings of various lengths, with knots tied in different positions.

The superstructure "Quipu," recently identified, spans 1.3 billion light-years, challenging our understanding of the distribution of matter in space. This discovery, resulting from a study published ...

Newly discovered Quipu, a superstructure in which galaxies group together in clusters and clusters of clusters, is the largest known structure in the universe in terms of length, scientists claim.

Scientists have discovered Quipu, the largest structure in the universe. Made up of multiple galaxy clusters, this structure creates a vast cosmic superstructure that spans 1.3 billion light years.
