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. But ...

If you thought the cosmic web was tangled enough, think again. A team of astrophysicists recently used gamma-ray bursts—those spectacular, enigmatic explosions of energy from the farthest reaches of ...

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 ...

Astronomers have recently identified a cosmic structure so vast that it challenges our understanding of the universe’s scale. Named Quipu, this colossal filament spans 1.3 billion light-years, making ...

For nearly one hundred years, we’ve taken advantage of a great concept about the universe. At first glance, it appeared to cover everything. The theory looked right. However, something doesn’t seem ...

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 ...
