JWST Discovers Cosmic Web Connecting Galaxies

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered the earliest known cosmic filament, a long invisible strand connecting ten ancient galaxies. This filament, estimated to be about three million light-years long, could provide insights into the formation of the universe and the interconnectedness of galaxies. The discovery also highlights the role of dark matter and regular matter in creating the conditions for star and galaxy formation. The filament is believed to be anchored by a quasar, and further research aims to understand the emergence of early massive black holes in the cosmic structure formation.
