A new study in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society by researchers including István Szapudi of the University of Hawaiʻi Institute for Astronomy suggests the universe may rotate—just ...

Space is packed with all sorts of weird and unexpected stuff, but this humongous, spinning string-thing raises a whole new set of questions. Reading time 3 minutes Composite image showing the massive ...

Rotating razor-thin galaxy string found 140 million light-years away shows many galaxies spinning with their filament, hinting that large structures shape galaxy rotation. Cosmic filaments are the ...
