A simulation of the cosmic web - a vast, three-dimensional “spider web” of gas filaments crisscrossing in the cosmos. Rather than being randomly distributed, galaxies tend to cluster at the nodes of ...

Scientists create the most detailed and accurate simulation ever produced of the first billion years of the universe. The CoDa III simulation shows galaxies forming in the early universe along the ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. (Left) An image of the sky in the direction of the cosmic web detection (Right) The image shows ...

2D projection of the cosmic web as obtained from a supercomputer simulation. CREDIT Dr Ewald Puchwein and the Sherwood-Relics collaboration Dark matter could be made up of ultralight dark photons that ...

In a new image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), ancient galaxies are strung along one gargantuan cosmic thread like pearls on an antique necklace. When astronomers peer into the deepest ...

New simulations show how thousands of galaxies evolve by traveling through the strands of gas, dust and stars that make up the universe's "cosmic web." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Much remains a mystery about the first billion years of the universe’s history, the epoch in which the cosmos emerged from its dark ages with the dawning of the earliest stars and galaxies. Now ...

Scientists made a twin version of our universe, showing the evolution of all forms of matter and energy, in the biggest cosmological computer simulation to date. When you purchase through links on our ...

Joanna Thompson: This is Scientific American’s 60 second science. I’m Joanna Thompson. In 2018, a group of astronomers from Yale discovered something odd: two galaxies that had almost no dark matter.

A simulation of the ‘cosmic web’, the vast network of threads and filaments that extends throughout the Universe. Stars, galaxies, and galaxy clusters spring to life in the densest knots of this web, ...
