A new study reveals Quipu, a vast network of galaxy clusters and superclusters, being dubbed the largest structure in the known universe.

Gaia has therefore built the most precise map of the Milky Way to date, giving the ESA a detailed reconstructed view of our home galaxy. “It contains major changes from previous models ...

One of the largest galaxies ever found, the behemoth is about 1.44 billion light-years away and reckoned to be 32 times the size of our Milky Way galaxy ... A spectral age map of 'Inkathazo'.

This has enabled Gaia to deliver on its primary goal of building the largest, most precise map of the Milky Way, showing us our home galaxy like no other mission has done before. As such ...
