It’s huge and invisible to the naked eye, but it poses a puzzle for researchers: a ring-shaped structure 1.3 billion light-years across in space. It consists of galaxies and galaxy clusters. It is already known as the “Big Ring”.
The giant ring is nine billion light-years away from Earth. If it were visible unaided in the night sky, its diameter would be equivalent to 15 full moons.
The giant ring was discovered by astronomer Alexia Lopez from Britain’s University of Central Lancashire, according to the BBC. His observations cast doubt on experts around the world: According to the cosmological principle that states that matter is evenly distributed throughout the universe, structures this large should not actually exist.
Discoveries that are not easy to explain
“It’s really surreal,” says Alexia Lopez. I have to pinch myself that I made this discovery by chance.” But it was also Lopez who discovered the “Giant Ark” anyway. This structure, which is even larger and is approximately 3.3 billion light years long, also contradicts the cosmological principle. Lopez BBC’ “Neither discovery is easy to explain,” he told .
Robert Massey, deputy director of the Royal Astronomical Society, adds that astronomy needs to be rethought. “This is the seventh largest structure in the universe, which contradicts the idea that the universe is evenly distributed.”
There is also debate among experts as to whether the Great Ring and the Great Belt are somehow connected and form an even larger structure. Both are relatively close to each other. (what is that)
