Astronomers detect a trio of unusual dwarf galaxies in the voids of the cosmic web
... to show the slow formation of galaxy mergers along filamentary pathways in the voids of the cosmic web. The cosmic web can be thought of as just that – a vast web-like structure formed by all of the galaxies in the Universe, linked by long tenuous...

Dark matter not as clumpy as previously thought
... by gravity – by the large-scale structure in the Universe. "This latest result indicates that dark matter in the cosmic web, which accounts for about one-quarter of the content of the Universe, is less clumpy than we previously believed...
