James Webb Telescope captures the first direct image of a 3-million-light-year cosmic web filament connecting galaxies from 12 billion years ago
Astronomers have produced the sharpest image to date of a 3-million-light-year filament connecting galaxies from nearly 12 billion years ago.

A DESI Milestone
Yesterday the Open Journal of Astrophysics published a paper by Porredon et al which will feature in the usual Saturday round-up. That paper, which is based on the First Data Release from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) reminded me that I should mention that DESI recently reached an amazing milestone – it has now mapped the positions and redshifts of 47 million galaxies and quasars! There is a full press-release about this achievement here.
Here’s a little video showing how the survey works:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H3diAK_KIc
There are more videos and other graphics in the press release.
Here’s a nice picture showing a thin slice through the full survey that reveals the characteristic “cosmic web” of the large-scale structure of the Universe in all its glory:
This progress is great, but it really makes me feel old. Forty years ago, in 1986, I had just started my PhD. The state-of-the-art galaxy redshift survey slice then is shown in this plot, from de Lapparent et al 1986 (ApJLett 302, L1), one of the first papers I read as a research student (I got it in 1985 as a preprint), which contains just 1,100 galaxies:
It is worth mentioning that although DESI has now covered its original target area, it will continue until 2028. You can never have too many galaxy redshifts!

The #CosmicWeb is made up of large #voids delimited by long filaments of #matter at the intersection of which vast #gravitational structures are formed: #galaxies grouped into clusters.
Do their properties (mass, shape, star formation rate) preserve traces of the large-scale cosmic flows from which they originated?

Astronomers used background X-rays to study the “cosmic web” of gas between galaxies and discovered that cosmic filaments are spinning, challenging our understanding of the universe’s evolution. This breakthrough by MPE_Garching researchers explains how galaxies acquire angular momentum. Science continues to reveal our amazing universe!

[Zoom on the #CosmicWeb] Have you dived into the deep fields of #Euclid revealed this Wednesday by the @ec_euclid ? Have you navigated between the thousands of #galaxies of different shapes, sizes, colors and masses? So many objects, near and far, fill our #Universe! https://sky.esa.int/esasky/?hide_welcome=true&hide_banner_info=true&hips=DES-DR2+ColorIRG&sci=false&layout=esasky&euclid_image=EDFS
What if their spatial distribution could tell us something about two mysterious components : #DarkMatter and #DarkEnergy? This is the gamble taken by the scientists involved in the Euclid mission. To do so, they've designed some unrivalled #instruments: a camera with great depth of field and high resolution records the variety of shapes and spatial distribution of galaxies, while a #spectrometer coupled with a #photometer can determine the distances and masses of galaxies ...
