This structure is too large in relation to our observable universe for it to be explainable by a mere coincidence. It's 1.3bn light years in diameter, while the observable universe is 93bn light years in diameter.

This is also not the only such structure found, some other examples are even larger: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_cosmic_structu...

Why is that important?

It's like a fog coalescing into a ring only on a roundabout. It's typically not a coincidence or a random fluctuation, but there's some underlying reason.

I would guess it’s too big for a local anomaly.
