When invisible dark matter spins, it may form clumps of "vortexes" that stretch across space, forming the cosmic web that links all galaxies, new research proposes. When you purchase through links on ...

Primordial magnetic fields, billions of times weaker than a fridge magnet, may have left lasting imprints on the Universe. Researchers ran over 250,000 simulations to show how these fields shaped the ...

Astronomers have identified the largest known single spinning structure within the cosmic web, a filament approximately 117,000 light-years across and 5.5 million light-years long, situated 424 ...

Long before galaxies sparkled in the sky or stars took shape, invisible forces stirred in the early Universe. One of those forces—magnetism—emerged in ways scientists are only now beginning to ...

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 ...
