  1. 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? Find out this Thursday with Katarina Kraljic, a researcher at the @ObsStrasbourg , who studied a sample of observed and virtual galaxies : irap.omp.eu/event/the-co-evolu

  3. [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! sky.esa.int/esasky/?hide_welco

    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 ...

    Alain Blanchard, professor at the University of Toulouse and researcher at IRAP, comments on the consortium's first-ever publication of scientific data: irap.omp.eu/en/2025/03/euclid-

  4. Cosmologists Parry Attacks on the Vaunted Cosmological Principle
    A central pillar of cosmology — the universe is the same everywhere and in all directions — is surviving a storm of possible evidence against it.
