The largest known structure in the Universe may be even larger than the large we thought it was. A re-examination of the distribution of powerful space explosions suggests that the Hercules-Corona ...

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 ...

This enormous chain of hundreds of galaxies—a cosmic filament—is twisting through space 400 million light-years away ...

If you thought the cosmic web was tangled enough, think again. A team of astrophysicists recently used gamma-ray bursts—those spectacular, enigmatic explosions of energy from the farthest reaches of ...

An international team led by the University of Oxford has identified one of the most massive and unusual structures in the Universe, a giant cosmic filament located 140 million light-years away. This ...

The universe's largest structure, the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall, was already a challenge to explain with models of the universe due to its incredibly vast size — and now, using the most ...

A new AI-powered method is changing how scientists measure the universe. Developed by researchers at the Flatiron Institute and their partners, this technique offers a far more accurate way to ...

For years, scientists have worked to chart the universe’s massive structure, aiming to test key models of cosmology. These efforts also help uncover how galaxies form and change over time. While most ...

A new JCAP study tests an “emulator” to reconstruct the large-scale structure of the cosmos If you think a galaxy is big, compare it to the size of the Universe: it’s just a tiny dot which, together ...

New supercomputer simulations hint that dark energy might be dynamic, not constant, subtly reshaping the Universe’s structure. The findings align with recent DESI observations, offering the strongest ...
