Cosmic web offers insights into the history of the Universe

Research team including Göttingen University observe for the first time extremely faint filaments. The Universe is criss-crossed by a cosmic web consisting of large filamentary gas structures in which galaxies should form. The existence of this network confirms the most important predictions about how the structure of the Universe changes. An international research team, led by the University of Lyon, have now for the first time produced images of the network of filaments and corresponding maps of the young Universe. The University of Göttingen was involved in the research project. The results of the study have been published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics . An international team led by Professor Roland Bacon (CNRS) has taken, for the first time, detailed images of the filaments of the cosmic web.
