Biggest Thing in the Universe: The Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall (Gamma Ray Burst Wall)

Описание: Size epitomises the universe... but as numbers climb, the question is what is the largest thing we have ever found? Well, the current largest-known cosmic structure, by definition, is the so-called Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall. This suspected galaxy filament was discovered through its apparent high frequency of Gamma Ray Bursts, and currently is the only structure in the universe known to exceed 10 billion light years. But the nature of the wall is still shrouded in mystery. Everything from its name, to its size, to its formation is debated by scientists... but with similar discoveries of massive GRB formations, our knowledge of distribution, matter and creation within the bounds of this universe is being pushed to the limit.
