Scientists have discovered a colossal structure in space, measuring 13,000 times the length of the Milky Way. Named Quipu, this vast formation stretches across 1.3 billion light years, making it the longest known object in the universe to date. The structure takes its name from the ancient Incan system of measurement and is estimated to contain approximately 200 quadrillion solar masses. Scientists also identified four other immense objects. These enormous structures are believed to contribute to gravitational lensing and influence the universe in various ways.
