Large Scale Structure

Large Scale Structure refers to the vast, organized patterns of matter in the universe, including galaxies, galaxy clusters, and superclusters, arranged in a web-like network called the cosmic web. These structures form over billions of years through gravity pulling matter together, starting from tiny fluctuations in the early universe. The result is a complex, interconnected system of matter spread across immense distances, revealing the universe’s overall organization and evolution. Studying this helps us understand how the universe developed from its initial conditions to its current large-scale appearance.
