Large Scale Structure of the Universe
The Large Scale Structure of the Universe refers to the vast arrangement of galaxies, galaxy clusters, and cosmic filaments that form a web-like pattern across the cosmos. This structure is shaped by gravitational forces and the expansion of the universe, leading to areas of dense matter and vast voids.
Scientists study this structure using observations from telescopes and simulations, helping to understand the distribution of dark matter and dark energy. Key features include galaxy clusters, superclusters, and cosmic voids, which reveal how matter is organized on scales much larger than individual galaxies.
