Largest Structure in Universe Discovered The newfound LQC is composed of 73 quasars and spans about 1.6 billion light-years in most directions, though it is 4 billion light-years across at its widest point. To put that mind-boggling size into perspective, the disk of the Milky Way galaxy — home of Earth's solar system — is about 100,000 light-years wide.

- ASTRONOMERS have captured the biggest black hole ever discovered in the early universe. An artist's impression of a supermassive black hole at the centre of a distant quasar. PA. The ancient object is 12 billion times the mass of our sun pumping out a million billion times the energy of our Sun. It was powering a distant galaxy called a quasar, the study published in Nature revealed.

China is building the world's biggest radio telescope that's the equivalent of 30 football pitches so it can âlisten to the UNIVERSEâ China is building the world’s largest radio telescope in Guizhou province, south west China. Construction for the Five hundred metre Aperture Spherical Telescope, shortened to FAST, started in March 2011. The project is now expect to be completed by September 2016. The gigantic radio telescope will cost approximately 1.2 billion Yuan (£120 million), making it the biggest astronomy project China has ever had.

Hubble Space Telescope The farthest and one of the very earliest galaxies ever seen in the universe appears as a faint red blob in this ultra-deep–field exposure taken with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. This is the deepest infrared image taken of the universe. Based on the object's color, astronomers believe it is 13.2 billion light-years away. (Credit: NASA, ESA, G. Illingworth (University of California, Santa Cruz), R. Bouwens (University of California, Santa Cruz, and Leiden University), and the HUDF09 Team)

IC 1101: The Largest Galaxy In the Known Universe IC 1101 The largest galaxy Known so Far. IC 1101 is located one billion light years away in the constellation Serpens, this is the largest galaxy in the known universe. It is enormous, it has a diameter of six million light years and a mass of over 100 trillion stars, with most of that mass in the form of elusive dark matter. astronomer Mark Brodwin said.

Black holes, quasars and active galaxies Today most astronomers believe that quasars, radio galaxies and the centres of so-called active galaxies just are different views of more or less the same phenomenon: a black hole with energetic jets beaming out from two sides. When the beam is directed towards us we see the bright lighthouse of a quasar. When the orientation of the system is different we observe it as an active galaxy or a radio galaxy. This ‘unified model’ has gained considerable support through a number of Hubble observational programs.

World's Largest Atom Smasher May Have Detected 'God Particle' (AP). A rumor is floating around the physics community that the world's largest atom smasher may have detected a long-sought subatomic particle called the Higgs boson, also known as the God particle..he leaked note suggests that the LHC's ATLAS particle-detection experiment may have picked up a signature of the elusive Higgs. The signal is consistent, in mass and other characteristics, with what the Higgs is expected to produce, according to the note.

StarChild Question of the Month for May 2000 What is the biggest star we know? The largest known star (in terms of mass and brightness) is called the Pistol Star. It is believed to be 100 times as massive as our Sun, and 10,000,000 times as bright! In 1990, a star named the Pistol Star was known to lie at the center of the Pistol Nebula in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Quasar (comics) After a failed war with the Elder God Set and the death of every hero on Earth except The Silver Surfer, Quasar was merged with Captain Universe to form a super-being that was capable of capturing and defeating Set. Using the Eye of Agamotto, Quasar trapped himself and Set within its pocket dimension.

The largest thing in the universe But now, they're homing in on a prime suspect: an enormous cavern of emptiness called a cosmic supervoid, so big that it might be the largest structure in the universe. According to theory, such a vast void, in which nary a star or galaxy exists, can leave a frigid imprint on the CMB.

Quasar Cluster: Largest Object In The Universe May Disprove Einstein's Cosmological Principle Quasar Cluster: Largest Object In The Universe May Disprove Einstein's Cosmological Principle. Astronomers have discovered the largest object in the universe. In fact it's so big, it might challenge a key principle of cosmology predicted by none other than Einstein himself. The object is a group of quasars from that four billion light years across. Together they form the largest structure in the universe, researchers at the University of Central Lancashire reported in the journal of the Royal Astronomical Society. The quasar structure is more than 1,600 times as big as our galaxy, the Milky Way.

Satao (elephant) Satao (elephant) Satao (c. 1968 – 30 May 2014) was one of Kenya's largest African elephants. He was known as a tusker because his tusks were so long that they almost touched the ground. The Tsavo Trust announced that Satao was killed by poachers using a poisoned arrow on 30 May 2014.
