With new technologies, which allow a more precise detection of the different kinds of celestial structures, some theories have been confirmed, while others have had to be reconsidered, but, above all, new findings have been made. Scientists discover the largest object in the universe, its dimensions are such that the light would take 10 billion years to cross it.
The new instruments improve knowledge about the universe
Although the knowledge about the cosmos have evolved in a accelerated way in recent times thanks to the new instruments that have been developed for their study, in most cases Each new finding ends up generating many more questions than answers. It seems that some theories considered as immovable can be subject to deep scrutiny at any time.
But the best of all for those who are interested in astronomy is that much more refined devices are being developed that show images and data of greater reliability, as well as supercomputers with which they can be interpreted. All this has allowed researchers to discover the largest object in the universe, the light would take 10 billion years to cross it.
An impossible dimensions structure was discovered
The finding of an impossible dimensions structure, called the Great Wall of Hercules-Corona Boreal, has generated serious doubts about a hypothesis that had been considered essential about the cosmos. This is the cosmological principle that maintains that the universe is the same and presents a similar distribution of large -scale masses, but This training gets out of that model.
This huge celestial body, which is constituted by numerous galaxies agglutinated from each other due to the force of gravity, was discovered in 2013 when they investigated the appearance of massive amounts of gamma radiation. And its presence was confirmed in 2020 (it resembles this structure that is also one of the largest in the universe), members of the scientific community doubt their existence, mainly due to two reasons.
On the one hand, they suspect that it could be an erroneous interpretation of the information obtained, and on the other, because it contradicts the cosmological principle. Well, a formation of these dimensions, about 10 billion light years, should not exist yet because what is enough to see from here is just a reflection of how that structure looked about 3 800 million years after the Big Bang occurred.
And in that period it would be impossible for something like the great wall of Hercules-Corona Boreal to form, which occupies 10% of the universe space. But despite all suspicions, that wall is there, and that can indicate that the current cosmic models that experts have developed cannot explain with absolute certainty what happens in the infinite space, and that There is still much to know.
Gamma rays show the existence of galaxies
The great wall of Hercules-Corona Boreal was detected between the constellations of Hercules and Draco, but It was not seen directly, but due to the appearance of gamma rays that emit the supernovas when they explode. The scientists achieved their discovery because specifically in that region there was a great agglomeration of these radiation, which demonstrated the existence of innumerable galaxies there.
Concluding, some scientists discovered the largest object in the universe, which occupies 10% of their space, it is the great wall of Hercules-Corona Boreal, whose dimensions reach 10 billion light years (even larger than this intergalactic monster that can house 66 billion soles) some researchers believe that there must be an error, because with that size it contradicts the cosmological principle.
