Giant ring-shaped structure discovered in space
World
British scientists have managed to discover colossal size ring-shaped structure consisting of clusters of galaxies.
Astronomers called the discovery the “Big Ring", and claim that its size is so huge that it raises doubts about the usual idea of the universe. The structure is 1.3 billion light years in diameter. Compared to the Moon visible from Earth, the size of this ring in the night sky would be 15 times larger.
The ring cannot be seen with the naked eye because it is at a great distance of about 9 billion light years from Earth.
The discovery of this structure raises doubts about the basic principles of cosmology. According to the cosmological principle, matter should be uniformly distributed in the Universe, hence massive formations such as the Great Ring cannot exist.
