A gigantic, previously unknown set of galaxies has been found in the distant universe, shedding light on the underlying skeleton of the cosmos.

"Matter is not distributed uniformly in the universe," said Masayuki Tanaka, an astronomer with the European Southern Observatory (ESO) who helped discover the galactic assemblage. "In our cosmic vicinity, stars form in galaxies and galaxies usually form groups and clusters of galaxies."

But those collections of matter are just small potatoes compared to larger structures long-theorized to exist.

I don't know if skeleton is the word I would have used.  When I look at the shape in red, I see something much different. More like a guy with a bone(r).

Wait a minute...  It's the Invisible Pink Unicorn!!!  Don't you see?  It's rearing up to the left.  The front legs are bent up towards the body.  You can make out the head and horn.  The tail is whipping up to the right and the back legs are side by side below.
