EMBARGOED UNTIL November 19, 2014, 12:00 CET
A handout photo released on November 18, 2014 by the European Southern Observatory shows an artist impression of the schematically mysterious alignments between the spin axes of quasars and the large-scale structures that they inhabit that observations with ESO’s Very Large Telescope have revealed. These alignments are over billions of light-years and are the largest known in the Universe. The large-scale structure is shown in blue and quasars are marked in white with the rotation axes of their black holes indicated with a line. This picture is for illustration only and does not depict the real distribution of galaxies and quasars. AFP PHOTO / EUROPEAN SOUTHERN OBSERVATORY / M. KORNMESSER
