Astronomers discover one of the Universe’s largest spinning structures
Scientists have discovered a giant cosmic filament where galaxies spin in sync with the structure that holds them together. The razor-thin chain of galaxies sits inside a much larger filament that appears to be slowly rotating as a whole.

The finding opens a new window into how galaxies formed and how matter flows across the Universe.

Researchers say recognizing a new “Category 6” could improve public awareness and disaster planning.
