Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to study black holes formed within a billion years after the Big Bang recently discovered an interconnected web of galaxies.
Theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku explains the significance of new images provided by NASA's Webb Space Telescope on 'Sunday Night in America.'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.
The cosmic web that astronomers recently discovered was pulled together by gravity over time, making it more distinct. "I was surprised by how long and how narrow this filament is," said team member Xiaohui Fan of the University of Arizona of Tuscon."I expected to find something, but I didn't expect such a long, distinctly thin structure."
