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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
