A massive filament of gas and dust, designated X7, has been elongated during its long approach to the Milky Way galaxy's ...

At the very largest scales, our universe resembles a spider web. Giant filaments crisscross the universe, connecting galaxy clusters like superhighways between cities. Their shape and structure ...

Giant filaments crisscross the universe, connecting galaxy clusters like superhighways between cities. Their shape and structure encode vital information about the contents and history of the ...

as improved filament finders are completed and a better understanding develops of the X-ray properties of galaxy groups, active galaxy nuclei and fast radio bursts allows better subtraction from ...

Recent studies have successfully observed magnetic shockwaves in the cosmic web by examining radio emissions between galaxy ...

This means that we can potentially go out and map filaments, measuring the spreading galaxy velocities along the length of those filaments, and map that result onto the mass of the underlying ...

Astronomers have discovered a vast structure in our galaxy, made up of many interconnected "nurseries" where stars are born. The long, thin filament of gas is a whopping 9,000 light-years long and ...
