Galaxies are not randomly distributed in the Universe. We find most of them in groups and clusters which are themselves part of large-scale structures such as sheets and filaments. These enormous structures contain millions of galaxies and are separated by large voids in which very few galaxies can be found. A team of scientists led by the University of Bonn has just found the longest intergalactic gas filament ever observed. A massive intergalactic gas filament measuring at least 50 million light-years in length--the longest yet to be found.
