Corrado#Astronomers using the #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope have discovered a thread-like arrangement of 10 #galaxies that existed just 830 million years after the Big Bang. The 3 million light-year-long structure is anchored by a luminous #quasar—a galaxy with an active, #supermassiveblackhole at its core. The team believes the filament will eventually evolve into a massive #clusterofgalaxies, much like the well-known #ComaCluster in the #nearbyuniverse.

Webb identifies the earliest strands of the cosmic web
Galaxies are not scattered randomly across the universe. They gather together not only into clusters, but into vast interconnected filamentary structures with gigantic barren voids in between. This "cosmic web" started out tenuous and became more distinct over time as gravity drew matter together.
