  2. List of largest cosmic structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_cosmic...

    It is the most massive galaxy supercluster discovered so far. [19] Big Ring (2024) 1,300,000,000 Made up of galaxy clusters. Quipu (2025) 1,300,000,000 Contains 68 galaxy clusters. [20] (Theoretical limit) 1,200,000,000 Structures larger than this size are incompatible with the cosmological principle according to all estimates. However, whether ...

  3. List of largest stars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_stars

    Luminous red novae appear to expand extremely rapidly, reaching thousands to tens of thousands of solar radii within only a few months, significantly larger than the largest red supergiants. [ 2 ] Some studies use models that predict high-accreting Population III or Population I supermassive stars (SMSs) in the very early universe could have ...

  4. List of largest galaxies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_galaxies

    Listed below are galaxies with diameters greater than 700,000 light-years. This list uses the mean cosmological parameters of the Lambda-CDM model based on results from the 2015 Planck collaboration, where H 0 = 67.74 km/s/Mpc, Ω Λ = 0.6911, and Ω m = 0.3089. [3]

  5. IC 1101 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IC_1101

    The galaxy has a very large halo of much lower intensity "diffuse light" extending to a radius of 600 kpc (2 million ly). [30] [verification needed] The authors of the study identifying the halo conclude that IC 1101 is "possibly one of the largest and most luminous galaxies in the universe". This view has been stated in several other papers as ...

  6. Shape of the universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_of_the_universe

    Hence, it is unclear whether the observable universe matches the entire universe or is significantly smaller, though it is generally accepted that the universe is larger than the observable universe. The universe may be compact in some dimensions and not in others, similar to how a cuboid [citation needed] is longer in one dimension than the ...

  7. Expansion of the universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_of_the_universe

    The expansion of the universe is the increase in distance between gravitationally unbound parts of the observable universe with time. [1] It is an intrinsic expansion, so it does not mean that the universe expands "into" anything or that space exists "outside" it.

  8. Big Ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Ring

    The Big Ring is composed of numerous galaxies and galaxy clusters that form a continuous, almost perfect ring-like pattern in space. With its diameter of 1.3 billion light years and a circumference of 4 billion light years, it is one of the largest known structures within the observable universe. The structure is made up of many galaxy clusters ...

  9. BOSS Great Wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BOSS_Great_Wall

    The question of whether the supercluster complex is moving together or being slowly separated by the expanding universe is a key factor to this discussion. [2] Nevertheless, when compared to several other chain structures, such as the Sloan Great Wall , the BOSS Great Wall's superclusters are far richer, containing more dense, high stellar mass ...
