Cosmic voids are vast spaces between filaments, which contain very few or no galaxies. In spite of their size, most galaxies are not located in voids but are gravitationally bound together, creating h

In cosmology, galaxy filaments are the largest known structures in the universe, consisting of walls of galactic superclusters. These massive, thread-like formations can commonly reach 50 to 80 megapa
