Comprehensive analysis of the Big Ring exposed it is not truly suitable with the BAO explanation: the Big Ring is too big and is not round. And if the Big Ring and the Giant Arc together form a still larger structure then the challenge to the Cosmological Principle becomes even more compelling.The Big Ring is centred close to 0 on the x-axis, spanning approximately -650 to +650 on the x-axis (equivalent to 1.3 billion light years).

The Big Ring and the Giant Arc, both individually and together, offers us a huge cosmological mystery as we work to understand the universe and its development.
