Large Scale Structure
Large Scale Structure refers to the organization of matter in the universe on the largest scales, including galaxies, galaxy clusters, and superclusters. These structures are shaped by the gravitational forces acting over vast distances, leading to a web-like arrangement of matter known as the cosmic web.
The study of Large Scale Structure helps scientists understand the distribution of dark matter and dark energy, which play crucial roles in the universe's evolution. Observations from telescopes and surveys, such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, provide valuable data for mapping these structures and exploring the universe's history.
