Astronomers have recently discovered the largest-known rotating cosmic filament, made up of hundreds of galaxies and connected with dark matter and gas, which stretches up to 50 million light-years.

Scientists have discovered a giant cosmic filament where galaxies spin in sync with the structure that holds them together.

The filament of matter stretches 50 million light-years, and contains a row of galaxies 5.5 million light-years long that are rotating in sync with the filament. When you purchase through links on our ...

An international team led by the University of Oxford has identified one of the largest rotating structures ever reported: a "razor-thin" string of galaxies embedded in a giant spinning cosmic ...

Cosmic filaments are among the largest structures in the Universe, and they rotate. In a new study that stacked thousands of filaments together, they were observed to be rotating along their ...

Galaxies residing in a huge filament of dark matter have been found to be mostly rotating in the same direction that the filament is spinning. It's a discovery that challenges what astronomers think ...
