This megastructure is beyond all dimensions! In this video, I take you into the depths of the universe, where a gigantic, newly discovered cosmic structure is waiting to blow your mind. You've probably wondered where exactly in the universe we live. We know that our home is the Milky Way - but what about beyond that? A groundbreaking study has now shown that we may be part of an even larger structure than previously thought. Astronomers call it the Shapley concentration, one of the largest gravitational basins in the universe. This structure could be up to ten times larger than our current supercluster Laniakea! In the video, you'll learn how the researchers gained these insights by analyzing 56,000 galaxies. Stay tuned until the end to find out what this discovery means for our understanding of the cosmos.
