Scientists have discovered a giant cosmic filament where galaxies spin in sync with the structure that holds them together. The razor-thin chain of galaxies sits inside a much larger filament that ...

Look up on a dark night and the stars seem scattered at random. Step back in scale, though, and the Universe looks nothing like a loose dusting. On its largest stretches, matter forms a vast web.

Rotating razor-thin galaxy string found 140 million light-years away shows many galaxies spinning with their filament, hinting that large structures shape galaxy rotation. Cosmic filaments are the ...

Astronomers have recently discovered the largest-known rotating cosmic filament, made up of hundreds of galaxies and connected with dark matter and gas, which stretches up to 50 million light-years.

Astronomers following interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS say its buzz has been eclipsed by a much stranger sight: a colossal, rotating chain of galaxies that may be the largest spinning object ever detected ...

Astronomers have spotted one of the largest spinning structures in the Universe, and it could reveal how the Milky Way was formed. Using some of the world's most powerful telescopes, a team of ...
