A pair of chaps hanging from the ranch's "6666" insignia. The ranch was established by Samuel Burk Burnett in 1900 after he purchased the land from the Louisville Land and Cattle Company. [3] [7] Legend has it that he won the ranch from a card game, where he scored four sixes. [3] However, Burnett and his descendants have denied this folklore ...
A projection of the South Pole Wall in celestial coordinates. The South Pole Wall (SPW or The South Pole Wall) is a massive cosmic structure formed by a giant wall of galaxies (a galaxy filament) that extends across at least 1.37 billion light-years of space, the nearest light (and consequently part) [a] of which is aged about half a billion light-years.

Waggonner Ranch in 2023. The Waggoner Ranch is a historic ranch located 13 miles south of Vernon, Texas, in north Texas near the Red River and Oklahoma border. Founded in 1852 by Daniel Waggoner, [2] it is the largest ranch within one fence in the United States. [3] [4] The land has been used to raise crops, beef cattle, and horses and to ...
The Sloan Great Wall is between 1.8–2.7 times longer than the CfA2 Great Wall of galaxies (discovered by Margaret Geller and John Huchra of Harvard University in 1989). [2] It also contains several galactic superclusters, the largest and richest of which is named SCl 126. This is located in the highest density region of the structure. [3] [4]
The Great Wall (also called Coma Wall), sometimes specifically referred to as the CfA2 Great Wall, is an immense galaxy filament. It is one of the largest known superstructures in the observable universe .
The Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall (HCB) [1] [5] or simply the Great Wall [6] is a galaxy filament that is the largest known structure in the observable universe, measuring approximately 10 billion light-years in length (the observable universe is about 93 billion light-years in diameter).
The BOSS Great Wall is one of the largest superstructures in the observable universe, [2] though there are even larger structures known. This figure shows the superclusters of the BOSS Great Wall, on Cartesian coordinates. The large complex has a mean redshift of z ~ 0.47 (z times Hubble length ≈ 6.8 billion light years). [1]
