Discover why astronomy and cosmology are the universe's mapmakers. Discover how scientists trace galaxies, the cosmic web, and the large-scale architecture of our entire existence in three dimensions ...

Long before galaxies sparkled in the sky or stars took shape, invisible forces stirred in the early Universe. One of those forces—magnetism—emerged in ways scientists are only now beginning to ...

Primordial magnetic fields, billions of times weaker than a fridge magnet, may have left lasting imprints on the Universe. Researchers ran over 250,000 simulations to show how these fields shaped the ...

Astronomers have identified the largest known single spinning structure within the cosmic web, a filament approximately 117,000 light-years across and 5.5 million light-years long, situated 424 ...

To develop hypotheses about the structure of the cosmic web, researchers gathered data from 24,000 galaxies and applied algorithms to the data set. Kim Albrecht built a simulation that explores 3 ...
