🪐 In 2019, scientists mapped the "cosmic web" of the universe by measuring how galaxies like those in the Bootes Void are connected by invisible filaments of dark matter. These dark matter strands, which cannot be seen or touched, act as a hidden scaffolding—shaping where galaxies form and how giant cosmic structures grow across billions of light-years. ✨ #darkmatter⚡#universe⚡#filaments⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#stars⚡#astronomy⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries 👉more Channels ​

🪐 Located in the constellation Centaurus, the galaxy NGC 4696 is surrounded by ghostly, thread-like filaments of cool gas that twist and loop for tens of thousands of light-years. These strange structures glow softly as they snake through the much hotter, X-ray-bright plasma of the galaxy cluster core, and scientists believe they are shaped by magnetic fields and slow, turbulent flows—creating some of the most fantastical patterns seen in the cosmos. ✨ #phenomena⚡#filaments⚡#clusters⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#stars⚡#astronomy⚡#universe⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries 👉more Channels ​
