  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. Universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe

    The observable universe contains as many as an estimated 2 trillion galaxies [95] [96] [97] and, overall, as many as an estimated 10 24 stars [98] [99] – more stars (and earth-like planets) than all the grains of beach sand on planet Earth; [100] [101] [102] but less than the total number of atoms estimated in the universe as 10 82; [103] and ...

  7. Galaxy groups and clusters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_groups_and_clusters

    The spread of velocities for the individual galaxies is about 150 km/s. However, this definition should be used as a guide only, as larger and more massive galaxy systems are sometimes classified as galaxy groups. [4] Groups are the most common structures of galaxies in the universe, comprising at least 50% of the galaxies in the local universe.

  8. 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 ...

  9. Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules–Corona_Borealis...

    The nomenclature was used by Jacqueline Howard, on her "Talk Nerdy to Me" video series, [17] and Hakkila would later use the name. [1] The term is misleading, since the clustering occupies a region much larger than the constellations Hercules and Corona Borealis. In fact, it covers the region from Boötes to as far as the Zodiac constellation ...
