The 10 Biggest Objects in
the Universe
BY: ZECCARIAH TOLENTINO
GQ Lupi b
GQ Lupi b
 Astronomers weren't sure what to make of the mysterious GQ
Lupi b when it was first discovered in 2005. Orbiting a young
star around two and a half times farther than Pluto is from
the sun, the companion object seemed to be either a planet
or a brown dwarf, which is actually a type of small star.
Subsequent observations have yet to clear up the confusion,
but the best estimates suggest GQ Lupi b ha that of Jupiter,
meaning that if it is an exoplanet, it's the largest ever found.
UY Scuti
UY Scuti
 UY Scuti is a hypergiant star with a radius that's around 1,700
times larger than the sun, making it the biggest known star in
the universe. If someone were to place UY Scuti at the center
of the solar system, its edge would extend just beyond the
orbit of Jupiter. Gas and dust streaming from the star would
extend even farther out, beyond the orbit of Pluto, or around
400 times the Earth-sun distance.
Tarantula Nebula
Tarantula Nebula
 Both the largest known nebula and most active star-forming
region in our local galactic neighborhood, the Tarantula
Nebula stretches for more than 1,800 light-years at its
longest span. Also known as 30 Doradus, the object
is located 170,000 light-years away from Earth in the Large
Magellanic Cloud, a small satellite galaxy that orbits our Milky
Way. Rather than a killer arachnid, this Tarantula is a stellar
nursery — within its beautiful folds of gas and dust young
stars are being born.
Supervoid in Eridanus
Supervoid in Eridanus
 In 2004, astronomers noticed a gigantic region of empty
space in maps created by NASA's Wilkinson Microwave
Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) satellite, which scanned in
exquisite detail the cosmic microwave background, or the
leftover radiation from the Big Bang. The spot, which spans
1.8 billion light-years across, According to Vice, is strangely
devoid of stars, gas, dust and even dark matter. While they
have seen previous voids, researchers remain baffled as to
how exactly one of this size and scale formed.
IC 1011
IC 1101
 Our Milky Way galaxy is around 100,000 light-years across, but that's fairly average
for a spiral galaxy. In comparison, the largest known galaxy, called IC 1101, is 50
times larger and about 2,000 times more massive than our galactic home.
Stretching for an impressive 5.5 million light-years, IC 1101 is so big that, if placed
where the Milky Way is now, its edge would reach past our nearest galactic
neighbor, Andromeda.
Ton 618
Ton 618
 Supermassive black holes are thought to lurk in the center of
every galaxy and can clock in at many millions of times the
mass of the sun. But the biggest known black hole can be
found powering a distant quasar — gigantic objects in the
early universe spewing out insane amounts of radiation. This
one, known as TON 618, has an estimated mass of 66 billion
suns, according to a statement.
Fermi Bubbles
Fermi Bubbles
 In 2010, astronomers using the Fermi space telescope
discovered colossal structures emerging from the Milky Way.
These massive blobs, which can only be seen in certain
wavelengths of light, are a towering 25,000 light-years tall (a
quarter of the Milky Way's width). Researchers be are the
result of an ancient feeding frenzy that our galaxy's central
black hole experienced, resulting in enormous belches of
energy.
Protocluster SPT2349-56
Protocluster SPT2349-56
 Back when the universe was only a tenth of its current age, 14 galaxies began
crashing together and forming the most massive known gravitationally bound
cosmic object, Protocluster SPT2349-56. Squeezed together in a space that's
only about three times as big as our Milky Way galaxy, this megamerger will
eventually combine into a single galaxy weighing 10 trillion times the mass of the
sun. Additional observations have revealed that around 50 additional galaxies
surround the structure, which will settle into a gigantic object known as a galactic
cluster, in which many galaxies orbit one another.
Shapley Supercluster
Shapley Supercluster
 Astronomer Harlow Shapley discovered a colossal collection
of galaxies in the 1930s that now bears his name. Containing
more than 8,000 galaxies and with a mass of more than 10
million billion times that of the sun, the Shapley Supercluster
is the largest structure in the local universe, according to the
European Space Agency.
