A newly-detected spinning galaxy filament is reshaping our understanding of cosmic structure, gas flows, and the origins of ...

A team of researchers believe they have identified a large, rotating structure 140 million light-years away from Earth. The ...

Astronomers have identified one of the largest rotating structures ever observed, located 140 million ...

The largest known structure in the Universe may be even larger than the large we thought it was. A re-examination of the distribution of powerful space explosions suggests that the Hercules-Corona ...

Astronomers have identified what could be the largest structure ever observed in the known universe—a vast network of galaxy clusters and superclusters containing an astonishing 200 quadrillion solar ...

The discovery potentially transforms what we think about how the cosmic environment influences galaxies as they form.

The universe is peppered with galaxies, which, on large scales, exhibit a filamentary pattern, referred to as the cosmic web. This heterogeneous distribution of cosmic material is in some ways like ...

This image shows five newly discovered superstructures. Quipu (red) is the largest structure ever found in the universe. The others are Shapley (blue), Serpens-Corona Borealis (green), Hercules ...

As the universe evolves, scientists expect large cosmic structures to grow at a certain rate: dense regions such as galaxy clusters would grow denser, while the void of space would grow emptier. As ...

The formation of cosmic structure, on both large scales and small scales, is highly dependent on how dark matter and normal matter interact, as well as the initial density fluctuations that have their ...

The universe is full of billions of galaxies -- but their distribution across space is far from uniform. Why do we see so much structure in the universe today and how did it all form and grow? A ...
