James Brady+FollowWe Finally Saw the Universe’s Skeleton!Space isn’t just empty darkness—it’s actually laced with a ‘cosmic web’ that ties galaxies together, and astronomers just snapped the first direct image of one of its filaments! Picture a faint bridge of hydrogen stretching 3 million light-years between two ancient quasars. This is like seeing the universe’s secret scaffolding for the first time, confirming how galaxies grow and how dark matter shapes everything. It’s wild to think the universe is stitched together by invisible threads! #CosmicWeb #Astronomy #SpaceNews #Science20Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowMeet Quipu: The Universe’s New GiantAstronomers just found a cosmic filament so huge, it makes the Shapley Superstructure look tiny. Quipu stretches 1.3 billion light-years and weighs 200 quadrillion suns! It’s packed with galaxies, hot gas, and dark matter, and it’s so massive it actually tweaks how we measure the universe’s expansion. Basically, Quipu is the backbone of our cosmic neighborhood—and it might even be hiding more secrets behind the Milky Way’s dust. Wild, right? #SpaceNews #Astronomy #CosmicWeb #Science110Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowUniverse’s Missing Matter Found?!Astronomers just found a massive, 23-million-light-year gas filament connecting galaxy clusters—finally solving the mystery of the universe’s 'missing matter.' Turns out, all that ordinary stuff (not dark matter!) we couldn’t find was hiding in these hot, cosmic superhighways all along. The best part? This discovery matches what our universe models predicted for decades. Space nerds, our cosmic web dreams are real! #SpaceNews #CosmicWeb #Astronomy #Science60Share
