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 ...

Astronomers have uncovered a vast, razor-thin strand of galaxies that is not just drifting through space but spinning ...

The FLAMINGO super simulation maps the universe from its earliest moments but finds galaxies cluster less than cosmological ...

Scientists have discovered a giant cosmic filament where galaxies spin in sync with the structure that holds them together.

FLAMINGO simulation maps the universe but reveals a puzzling mismatch: galaxies cluster less than theory predicts.

For years, we’ve believed that the universe is a vast, uniform expanse, with the same properties stretching across the cosmos ...

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 has no brain. It has no gray matter, no nervous system, no neurons firing electrical impulses—and yet, that ...
