Astronomers have used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to identify a string of 10 galaxies appearing to be connected by a thread, which they say existed 830 million years after the Big Bang.
On Thursday, NASA said on its website that galaxies gather in clusters, but also into "vast interconnected filamentary structures with gigantic barren voids in between."
The cosmic web that astronomers recently discovered was pulled together by gravity over time, making it more distinct.

The structure itself is 3 million light years long and anchored by a quasar, which is a galaxy with a supermassive black hole at its center.
