ICRAR researchers have discovered tantalizing evidence of magnetic fields in the universe's largest cosmic structures. The cosmic web is how the universe looks at its largest scale—an interweaving web ...

For the first time, astronomers have caught a glimpse of shock waves rippling along strands of the cosmic web — the enormous tangle of galaxies, gas and dark matter that fills the observable universe.

NASA's James Webb Telescope has spotted a string of ancient galaxies connected by a cosmic filament dating back to the early days of the universe. This is the earliest filament ever seen of the ...

Galaxies in the universe trace patterns on very large scales; there are large empty regions (called “voids”) and dense regions where the galaxies exist. This distribution is called the cosmic web. The ...

A team of researchers in Australia have recorded shockwaves in the cosmic web for the first time. These shockwaves could help us understand the role of magnetic fields. Researchers hope studying the ...

Like rivers feeding oceans, streams of gas nourish galaxies throughout the cosmos. But these streams, which make up a part of the so-called cosmic web, are very faint and hard to see. While ...

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.

While astronomers know that the cosmic web exists, how it evolved into what it is today largely remains a mystery. However, using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a team of astronomers have ...
