Like pearls on a string
6 Feb 2025
An international team led by LMU and ORIGINS researchers has now discovered a surprisingly narrow and straight filament of eight galaxies and detected huge dark gas clouds in it.
Supercomputer simulations show that the architecture of the Universe on the largest scales - where galaxies are mere points - has a kind of honeycomb structure. Dark matter, gas and galaxies are distributed over a huge complex network of filaments, walls and nodes. In between there are large voids, i.e. areas that are comparatively empty.
