Sloan Great Wall
The Sloan Great Wall is a large-scale structure in the field of astronomy, specifically in the study of cosmic structures. It is part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, which maps the universe and provides valuable data about galaxies, stars, and other celestial objects. The wall is notable for its vast size and the concentration of galaxies within it, making it an important feature for understanding the large-scale structure of the universe.
Discovered in the early 2000s, the Sloan Great Wall stretches over 1.37 billion light-years and is one of the largest known cosmic structures. It challenges previous theories about the distribution of matter in the universe and offers insights into the formation and evolution of galaxies. The study of such structures helps astronomers learn more about the universe's history and its expansion.
