A vast structure seen more than 11 billion years ago reveals how clusters assembled from smaller clumps along the early ...

When the universe was barely one billion years old, galaxies were already stringing themselves along vast filaments of matter, separated by enormous empty voids. Now, for the first time, astronomers ...

Check out the cosmic sprawl.

When you look up at the night sky, countless stars are twinkling. The stars visible to the naked eye all seem quiet, and at ...

An international team of astronomers has discovered the most distant progenitor to a galaxy supercluster ever. The discovery ...

Understanding the universe as a whole requires simulations on cosmic scales. An international team of astrophysicists, with a leading role for researchers at Leiden University, Netherlands, has now ...

A study based on 47 million galaxies found that the cosmic web retains patterns on enormous scales, which could force a reevaluation of a pillar of cosmology. “What we found is a network of enormous ...

We love when astronomers share the images they capture with the James Webb Space Telescope because they are so dang beautiful and cool. But of course, science is about more than just pretty pictures.

The large-scale structure of the Universe arises from the gravitational amplification of primordial fluctuations, producing a cosmic web of galaxies, filaments, clusters and voids. At sufficiently ...
