What is the largest structure ever 2b found in the universe?

Answer 1

uh, THE universe.

Answer 2

Astronomers have used the Subaru and Keck telescopes to discover gigantic filaments of galaxies stretching across 200 million light-years in space. These filaments, formed just 2 billion years after the Big Bang, are the largest structures ever discovered in the Universe. The filaments contain at least 30 huge concentrations of gas, each of which contains 10x the mass of the Milky Way.

A team of astronomers using the Subaru and Keck telescopes on Mauna Kea has discovered giant, three-dimensional filaments of galaxies extending across 200 million light-years of space. These filaments, which formed a mere 2 billion years after the birth of the universe, are the largest-known structures ever discovered. They are studded with more than 30 large concentrations of gas, each up to ten times as massive as our own galaxy. These giant gas clouds are probably the progenitors of the most massive galaxies that exist in the universe today.

This finding is very important because it gives researchers new insight into the large-scale structure of the cosmos. Astronomers expect the universe to look relatively smooth 2 billion years after the birth of the universe. In summarizing the importance of this finding, astronomer Ryosuke Yamauchi from Tohoku University said, "Something this large and this dense would have been rare in the early universe. The structure we discovered and others like it are probably the precursors of the largest structures we see today which contain multiple clusters of galaxies."

Answer 3

As with many questions here, it depends on what you mean by "structure".

A scientist may say a galactic supercluster. It's not a single object, but it comes under the cosmic definition of structure. This is a cluster of smaller clusters, each smaller cluster made up of galaxies. The galaxies in each cluster are gravitationally bound, and the clusters in each supercluster have an gravitational effect on each other also.

Another answer may be the universe itself, which seems to be made up, on a very large scale, of clusters of galaxies in "filaments", a bit like a very loosely woven cloth, with voids of nothing between the clusters and superclusters.

If you're thinking of a single object, I suppose a number of red supergiant stars would fit the bill.

Answer 4

Scientist using radio telescopes are beginning to "unearth" discoveries that stretch human imaginations to its limit and sometimes beyond. They recently discover a string of galaxies stretching halfway across the sky. This is THE LARGEST "STRUCTURE" ever to be found in the universe. 7 hundred million light-years long, it is 10 times larger fr end to end, than any cluster of galaxies previously found. The newly discovered galaxies is a long way fr earth: distance varies between 100 million & 200 million light years fr earth.

hheres how to figure out how far it is:
a light year is about a dictance trasveled by light in 1 year is about 6 trillion miles if im not mistaken.
Multiply that figure by 700 million you have in miles a 4 w/ 21 zeros after it

If you could travel at the speed of light- or 670 million miles / hour-- you would spent 100 to 200 million years to gat to the new galaxies.
If you want an idea of how big this galaxy string looks, get your starmap and go outside o a clear night. This huge celestial structure extends from Pegasus to Big Diper. The astronomers who discovered the string suspect that it may be much longer than it appears, perhaps stretching "all the way around the sky"
PONDER ON THIS:
The Mighty Creator of all those far away atars loves you & me . That fact is even more difficult to understand sometimes than tha vast distances in space. PERHAPS THAT'S WHY SO MANY PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT jESUS IS REAL. "But w/o faith it is impossible to please him: foe he that cometh to God must believe that dilligently seek him" (Hebrew 11:6).

"WHEN I CONSIDER THE HEAVENS...THE MOON AND THE STARS, WHICH THOU HAST ORDAINED; WHAT IS MAN THAT THOU ART MINDFUL OF HIM? AND THE SON OF MAN THAT THOU VISITEST HIM?" (Psalm 8:3,4)

Answer 5

Galaxies are the largest structures. Depending on how one classifies a single structure Galactic super clusters would be the largest.

Answer 6

it should be a star. now it depends on what you are interested in when you say largest.
if by largest you mean the one with the biggest volume than it would beVY Canis Majoris which is a red hypergiant about 1000 times bigger in diameter as the Sun.
if you refer to mass tha is not the most massive star, but Eta Carinae, 100-150 times the mass of the Sun.

Answer 7

I think it would be the red giant Sirius, there are probably bigger stars out there but we haven't found them yet! Have a great day.

Answer 8

Jupiter maybe, or a sun not necessarily ours.

or the Utopia Planetia Starfleet Yards?

Answer 9

What the hell do u mean by "structure'??

there are no buildings in space you know...

Answer 10

if you mean celestial bodies it will be Sirius - the star at Hercules that the biggest star ever found! it has be a red giant star (that star is expending and waiting to die)
