Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall

Hercules - Corona Borealis Great Wall is a cosmic super structure which probably consists of super clusters of galaxies, forming a filament. It has a size of 10 billion light years.

This would Hercules - Corona Borealis Great Wall is the largest and most massive known structure in the observable universe.

Position

The structure is located in the direction of the eponymous constellations Hercules and Northern Crown ( Corona Borealis ), at a distance of about 10 billion light years, according to the redshift of z = 1.6-2.1.

The Hercules - Corona Borealis Great Wall has 10 × 7.2 billion light-years (3 × 2.2 Gpc ) more than double the extent of the discovered in November 2012 Huge- LQG and is six times as large as the Sloan Great Wall.

Discovery

The region was discovered in November 2013, and was struck by an unusually high number of gamma-ray bursts, they are an indicator of galaxies. The data basis provided the gamma ray research mission of the Swift satellite to survey the distant universe.

Scale problem

Accordingly, the distance and the long light time today's observation shows the temporal condition before about 10 billion years. That so extremely large structures could have already existed 3.8 billion years after the Big Bang, but contrary to the common assumptions about the cosmological evolution. These proceed in accordance with the cosmological principle on large scales of a relatively homogeneous distribution of matter, with a maximum feature size of 1.2 billion light years.

This would correspond approximately to the Sloan Great Wall, the third largest structure in the universe. Huge- LQG would be four times that Hercules - Corona Borealis Great Wall eight times as large.

However, can not be ruled out that it is not coherent structures that happen to have the same redshift.
