The largest structure found so far.

Astronomers (British) have found the largest structure so far found, and it's absolutely immense.


It's a whole line of Quasars, clumped together and stretches over 4 billion light years. This apparently starts to make some of Einsteins theories a bit shakey, in respect that the universe is uniform "all over". 


The size and distances involved are simply beyond comprehension.
