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.
