We have produced a new conformal map of the universe illustrating recent discoveries, ranging from Kuiper belt objects in the Solar system, to the galaxies and quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This map projection, based on the logarithm map of the complex plane, preserves shapes locally, and yet is able to display the entire range of astronomical scales from the Earth's neighborhood to the cosmic microwave background. The conformal nature of the projection, preserving shapes locally, may be of particular use for analyzing large scale structure. Prominent in the map is a Sloan Great Wall of galaxies 1.37 billion light years long, 80% longer than the Great Wall discovered by Geller and Huchra and therefore the largest observed structure in the universe.

  1. Gigaparsec structures are nowhere to be seen in $\Lambda$CDM: an enhanced analysis of LSS in FLAMINGO-10K simulations

    astro-ph.CO 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using a 65 Mpc linkage scale on the full FLAMINGO-10K box, the authors find no gigaparsec structures and claim the simulation's large-scale structure matches random Poisson data, leaving the Giant Arc as a challenge t...
