Huge-LQG

(U1.27)
(possible overly-large structure)

The Huge-LQG is a large quasar group (LQG) of 73 quasars reported in 2013 that apparently spans enough distance to challenge current cosmology theory: the cosmological principle suggests that given the universe's finite age, at any point in time, there is a maximum to the size of anything other than random, i.e., any possible large scale structure. All such discerned structures large enough to challenge the principle are immediately under suspicion but testing whether such a pattern is truly random or truly not is tricky.
