Researchers have captured an extremely rare image of a cosmic filament connecting two galaxies when the universe was just two billion years old.

Scientists have captured the most detailed image of a cosmic filament which could lead to a better understanding of galaxy formation

An international team of astronomers has captured the most detailed image ever of a cosmic filament, a vast structure of gas stretching between two galaxies nearly 12 billion light-years away. This filament, part of the cosmic web, provides a direct glimpse into how galaxies form and grow in the early universe.

After hundreds of hours of observations, researchers captured a highly detailed image of a long filament of the "cosmic web" connecting two distant galaxies. The discovery opens new windows for understanding how structures form and evolve in the universe.
