Thought to be a baryon acoustic oscillation (“BAO”), the first such discovered, and the nearest such found.
    — In any event, this apparent ring structure at a distance of ∼250 Mpc from us is one of the largest structures observed in the nearby Universe to date and links together a number of hitherto disconnected components of our cosmic neighborhood. We name this remarkable structure "Ho'oleilana." fn: "Sent murmurs of awakening" from the Hawaiian Kumulipo creation chant: Ho'oleilei ka lana a ka Po uliuli, "From deep darkness came murmurs of awakening."
