Hydrogen-rich galaxies are especially useful for tracing how gas flows along filaments into galaxies. By studying them, ...

Scientists have discovered a giant cosmic filament where galaxies spin in sync with the structure that holds them together.

Radio waves emanate from the gap between two merging galaxy clusters. This first-of-its kind detection suggests that the "threads" that bridge galaxy clusters in the universe are home to magnetic ...

At the very largest scale, the Universe consists of a "cosmic web" made of enormous, tenuous filaments of gas stretching between gigantic clumps of matter. Or that's what our best models suggest. All ...

The filament of matter stretches 50 million light-years, and contains a row of galaxies 5.5 million light-years long that are rotating in sync with the filament. When you purchase through links on our ...
