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

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

Scientists discover the largest-known rotating cosmic filament, a 50M light-year structure of galaxies, gas and dark matter spinning in space.

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 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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Astronomers have discovered the largest known structure in the universe, a clump of active galactic cores that stretches 4 billion light-years from end to end. The structure is a large quasar group ...
