Astronomers have spotted a gigantic void they believe to be a baryon acoustic oscillation — a relic from when the universe was a fiery plasma soup

Astronomers have spotted a gigantic void they believe to be a baryon acoustic oscillation — a relic from when the universe was a fiery plasma soup.

The same team of scientists that discovered that our Milky Way is one of 100,000 galaxies inside a supercluster has found a larger structure deeper into the universe.

Astronomers from the University of Hawaiʻi have made a groundbreaking discovery, revealing an immense cosmic bubble located 820 million light years away from Earth. Named "Hoʻoleilana," derived from the Kumulipo, a Hawaiian creation chant symbolizing the origin of structure, this colossal structure is believed to be a relic from the universe's birth. The findings, published…

The bubble is 10,000 times wider than the Milky Way and located 820 million light-years from our own galaxy.

Astronomers have discovered a massive celestial structure, known as the "first bubble of galaxies," within our galactic neighborhood. This colossal finding, published in The Astrophysical Journal, is a result of extensive scientific inquiry. Spanning a billion light years, this enormous bubble is 10,000 times larger than our Milky Way galaxy. Nestled within the bubble is the Bootes supercluster of galaxies, surrounded by a vast void. This discovery confirms a hypothesis from 1970 and e...

Astronomers have discovered the first "bubble of galaxies," an almost unimaginably huge cosmic structure thought to be a fossilised remnant from just after the Big Bang sitting in our galactic backyard.

Astronomers from the University of Hawaiʻi have unexpectedly discovered an immense bubble of galaxies, named “Hoʻoleilana,” thought to be a fossil-like remnant from the birth of the universe.

TThe discovery of the billion-light-year-wide Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) is not only an exciting find, but also a curious one.
