One of the largest spinning structures in the Universe found
An international team led by the University of Oxford has identified one of the largest rotating structures ever reported. The structure comprises 14 nearby galaxies rich in hydrogen gas, arranged in a thin, stretched-out line about 5.5 million light-years long and 117,000 light-years wide. It sits inside much larger cosmic filament containing 280-plus other galaxies & 50 million light-years long.
