An international team of scientists has discovered the biggest known structure in the universe—and it would take a vehicle traveling at the speed of light 4 billion years to cross it. The structure is a large quasar group—a collection of supermassive black holes which form a single, massive structure—and it is huge. It’s made up of seventy-three quasars, and is over four billion light-years across at its widest point. For some perspective, that distance is 1,600 times larger than the distance between our galaxy, the Milky Way, and its nearest neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy.
Mind blown.
