Astronomers discover humongous structure 1/9 size of the observable universe

[Dyna]

So we have a set of nine rings, in a large ring 

they recently discovered a structure within our universe that measured 5 billion light years across. That's more than one-ninth the size of the entire observable universe, and by far the largest structure ever discovered.

Just what is this massive structure? It's not a single, physical object, but rather a cluster of nine massive galaxies bound together gravitationally, much like how our Milky Way is part of a cluster of galaxies. It was discovered after researchers identified a ring of nine gamma ray bursts (GRBs) that appeared to be at very similar distances from us, each around 7 billion light years away.

There is only a 1 in 20,000 probability of the GRBs being in this distribution by chance.

An interesting thing that I keep seeing in these find words like these.

In fact, this mysterious structure is so colossal that it could shatter our current understanding of the cosmos.

Looking back at this find 2013 article titled  Largest Structure in Universe Discovered

"This is hugely exciting, not least because it runs counter to our current understanding of the scale of the universe."

We don't know that much, clearly there is mush to learn, many people seem to feel we know much more then we actually do!

Astronomers have discovered the largest known structure in the universe, a clump of active galactic cores that stretches 4 billion light-years from end to end.

The structure is a large quasar group (LQG), a collection of extremely luminous galactic nuclei powered by supermassive central black holes. This particular group is so large that it challenges modern cosmological theory, researchers said.
