The bbc has a better article in their science section at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbc.co.uk&#x2F;future&#x2F;article&#x2F;20230302-the-giant-arcs-that-may-dwarf-everything-in-the-cosmos" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbc.co.uk&#x2F;future&#x2F;article&#x2F;20230302-the-giant-arcs...</a> dated March 2023. Today’s article is triggered by a presentation of results but contains less information.

I don&#x27;t understand. Since the entire universe might be huge compared to the observable universe, is this structure really that unlikely?

How do we measure the distance to those galaxies to be sure that it’s really a ring, rather than something that looks like a ring from our perspective? I know that supernovas provide one technique for distance measurement, but it feels unlikely that we’ve done that for every galaxy in this structure?
