... light-years away from us and extends over at least 60 million light-years. The newly uncovered structure does probably extend further, beyond the field probed by the team, and hence future observations have already been planned to obtain a definite measure of its size. More information: This research was presented in a paper published as a letter in the Astronomy & Astrophysics Journal : 'The spectroscopically confirmed huge cosmic structure at z = 0.55', by Tanaka et al. http://www.aanda.org/10.1051/0004-6361/200912929 A first glimpse of the very early universal web, ...
