Astronomers have analyzed the largest map of the universe.

The analysis looked at nearly 6 million galaxies and quasars spanning 11 billion years of cosmic time.

It found that even at colossal scales the force of gravity behaves as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity.

The result validates cosmologists' leading theory and appears to limit alternative theories of gravity.
