From the article: "In detail, Hoʻoleilana is slightly larger than anticipated from the theory of the standard model of cosmology, and what has been found from prior statistical pair-wise studies of galaxy separations. The size is in accord with observations of the local expansion rate of the universe and of galaxy flows on large scales that also hint at subtle problems with the standard model."

My recent post about reexamining the standard cosmological model and thus, Dark Energy.

I was just watching a PBS Space Time episode on the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation and they were talking about how there were patterns in it that indicated that these structures should exist. This is so cool!
