Astronomers Reckon There Are 17 Billion Earth-Size Planets in Our Galaxy Alone

Astronomers report largest structure in universe.

Largest structure in universeWhat could be the largest structure yet seen in the observable universe has emerged from data taken during a 12-year survey of the night sky.

The discovery is an apparent cluster of quasars some 4 billion light-years across. If it holds up to further scrutiny, it could challenge a long-held assumption that at the cosmos's largest scales, the physical processes at work and the distribution of matter and energy are the same, regardless of an observer's location.
