The Oldest Cosmic Web Strands Are Identified by Webb

Astronomy, Galactic Astronomy, Science / Ngoma Manuel

Instead of being randomly dispersed throughout the universe, galaxies cluster into intricate filamentary structures with enormous gaps in between. An exciting discovery of a thread-like structure of 10 galaxies that existed barely 830 million years after the Big Bang was made by astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope. This 3 million light-year-long filament is
