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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the vast expanse of the universe, astronomers have just uncovered a colossal cosmic structure, breaking all previous records for size and mass. Named Quipu, this newly discovered superstructure ...

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 ...
