TL;DR Summary

Astronomers have captured the faint glow of the cosmic web, the largest structure in the universe that connects galaxies, for the first time. This network of filaments provides valuable information about galaxy formation, evolution, and the location of dark matter. By using the Keck Cosmic Web Imager, researchers created a 3D map of the cosmic web by detecting emissions from hydrogen gas. The images help scientists understand how galaxies form and evolve, and offer a new way to study the universe.
