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 ...

A team of international astronomers has identified what is believed to be the largest known superstructure in the cosmos, a discovery that could reshape our understanding of outer space. According to ...

Most of the baryonic content of our Universe is in the form of a hot, dilute gas that fills the large-scale structure set by the dark-matter distribution. These hot baryons allow us to trace the ...

Is it possible to understand the universe without understanding the largest structures that reside in it? In principle, not likely. In practical terms? Definitely not. Extremely large objects can ...

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 ...

Velocity streamlines within the reconstructed volume, with colored envelopes associated with the prominent nearby basins of attraction. The map and streamlines have been cropped to the region covered ...
