Scientists have discovered a giant cosmic filament where galaxies spin in sync with the structure that holds them together.

Astronomers have identified a vast, twisting chain of galaxies that appears to be rotating as a single structure, a kind of cosmic tornado that stretches across tens of millions of light years. If ...

Astronomers have identified what could be the largest structure ever observed in the known universe—a vast network of galaxy clusters and superclusters containing an astonishing 200 quadrillion solar ...

Researchers have found a razor-thin, rotating string of galaxies inside a massive cosmic filament, revealing unexpected alignments that challenge models of how galaxies gain their spin. An internation ...

Astronomers following interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS say its buzz has been eclipsed by a much stranger sight: a colossal, ...

The mystery of galaxies in the early Universe just got even weirder. A team of astronomers has identified a giant spiral galaxy so well-formed that it already has a stable galactic bar; a long, ...

By studying faint distortions in galaxy shapes across a vast region of sky, scientists probed the hidden structure of the universe. In the standard picture of the universe, nearly everything is hidden ...

Newly discovered Quipu, a superstructure in which galaxies group together in clusters and clusters of clusters, is the largest known structure in the universe in terms of length, scientists claim.

Another batch of the ‘impossible’ galaxies turned out not to be standard galaxies at all, but a new type of object that ...

This image shows five newly discovered superstructures. Quipu (red) is the largest structure ever found in the universe. The others are Shapley (blue), Serpens-Corona Borealis (green), Hercules ...

Dwarf galaxies that orbit the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxies defy the accepted model of galaxy formation, and recent attempts to wedge them into the model are flawed, reports an international ...
