AdvertisementScientists have discovered a massive ring-shaped structure in space that challenges our understanding of the universe.
The cosmic megastructure, dubbed the Big Ring, has a diameter of about 1.3 billion light-years and is among the largest structures ever observed.
The structure observed more than 9 billion light-years from Earth, is the latest large structure discovered that contradicts the principle.
