The endless innovations that endless space offers us means that new things are added every time we are about to solve a problem. This offers us more offered the opportunity to learn We don’t complain about it too much, but it wouldn’t be wrong to say that at some point it hits us in the face with its smallness compared to the depth of space.

Once again a discovery was made that caused this. The scientists who made the discovery in question found a gigantic ring that is fifteen times the size of the moon we see, although it is not visible to the naked eye from Earth. Large ring This celestial body, called the Great Ring, is so large that according to our cosmological principles, such a thing should not exist. But it’s right there.

Let’s start with the basics. Although we now even have to question that.

Large ring (blue)

Big ring, 1.3 billion light years in diameter. Yes, not in distance, but in diameter. It contains galaxies and clusters of galaxies. Too far away to see with the naked eye, this celestial body is located 9 billion light years away. Therefore visible to the naked eye It’s not really possible.

Now what we mentioned earlier to the cosmological principle let’s go back. According to this principle, the universe is homogeneous and the same wherever you look at it, that is, it is isotropic. But the discovered Great Ring contradicts this principle. PhD student Alexia Lopez, who took part in the discovery research, said that according to currently available cosmological theories this size He said they thought the objects didn’t exist. Of course, we cannot forget the celestial body Giant Arc, which was discovered in 2021. It was also 3.3 billion light-years in diameter and appears to lie next to the newly discovered Great Ring. Lopez says such discoveries are swept under the rug. Here he is the one we accept. We need to revise the universe model suggests.

who made the discovery by chance and experience surreal We’ll see how Lopez’s statements will be reflected. Finally, the Great Ring is said to be closer to a spiral shape than a complete ring.
