Large Scale Structure of the Universe

The Large Scale Structure of the Universe refers to the vast, complex arrangement of matter, including galaxies, galaxy clusters, and cosmic filaments, that shapes the universe on the grandest scales. These structures form a web-like pattern, with dense clusters of galaxies connected by thin threads of dark matter and less populated voids. Understanding this structure helps scientists comprehend the universe's formation, evolution, and the influence of dark energy and dark matter, providing insights into fundamental cosmic processes and the overall architecture of our universe beyond individual galaxies.
