Researchers have zoomed in on the area surrounding the supermassive black hole lurking at the center of our galaxy, and made a fascinating discovery: a structure of "strange filaments" driving a cycle ...

Scientists have discovered a giant cosmic filament where galaxies spin in sync with the structure that holds them together. The razor-thin chain of galaxies sits inside a much larger filament that ...

Active galactic nuclei, energetic and luminous regions powered by an accreting supermassive black hole at the center of some galaxies, can launch a jet that drives a gas outflow, shaping star ...

A wobbling jet from a supermassive black hole in a nearby galaxy is blasting gas out at a rate high enough to suppress star formation.

Rotating razor-thin galaxy string found 140 million light-years away shows many galaxies spinning with their filament, hinting that large structures shape galaxy rotation. Cosmic filaments are the ...

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 ...
