The Sloan Great Wall (SGW) is one of the largest known cosmic structures in the observable universe. It is a massive galaxy filament spanning approximately 1.37 billion light-years in length, making it one of the most extensive and mysterious structures ever discovered. This colossal feature challenges our understanding of large-scale cosmic formations and the distribution of matter in the universe. Discovered in 2003 by J. Richard Gott III and his colleagues using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) , the Sloan Great Wall remains a subject of interest in cosmology, astrophysics, and large-scale structure formation studies. What is the Sloan Great Wall? The Sloan Great Wall is a filamentary structure composed of numerous galaxy clusters, superclusters, and voids that stretch across vast cosmic distances. Unlike traditional walls or physical barriers, it consists of gravitationally bound galactic structures forming an interconnected web, shaping the cosmic fabric of ...
