Astronomers have uncovered a colossal, searing-hot filament of gas linking four galaxy clusters in the Shapley Supercluster a ...

New observations support the idea that hot, diffuse threads of gas called cosmic filaments connect clusters of galaxies ...

A vast filament of gas stretching across the cosmos may help solve the mystery of the Universe’s missing matter. Astronomers ...

In an extraordinary leap forward for astrophysics, astronomers have achieved a momentous breakthrough with the first direct ...

Located in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ), these filaments could be a part of a cyclical process in one of the galaxy’s most mysterious regions.

With a temperature of over 10 million degrees, the filament contains approximately 10 times the mass of the Milky Way. Astronomers have discovered a massive hot gas filament that connects four galaxy ...

These cosmic filaments contain 12 trillion solar masses of 10-million-degree gas, helping solve the "missing matter" mystery.

Seen as a long strand with smaller threads branching, the Quipu superstructure contains 68 galaxy clusters spanning 1.4 ...

The aforementioned models of the cosmos, including the standard model of cosmology, have long posited the idea that the ...

Astronomers have taken an unprecedentedly detailed look at the tendrils and filaments that wrap around supermassive black hole-dominated galaxies of Abell 2255.

Two studies fill in gaps about the cosmos’s ordinary matter. One maps it all, even the “missing matter.” The other details one of its hiding spots.
