Summary
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have created the largest-ever map of the universe, reconstructing the cosmic web in unprecedented detail. The map reveals how galaxies have evolved over 13 billion years and how they cluster within the cosmic web — the universe's largest known structure, composed of gas filaments, stars, voids, and dark matter.

· 3 pulledAstronomers have reconstructed the 'skeleton' of the cosmos in unprecedented detail, thanks to the largest-ever survey conducted by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
The resulting map reveals how galaxies have evolved since the universe's infancy around 13 billion years ago and how they fall together in a vast structure called the cosmic web.
The cosmic web is the largest known structure in existence, home to countless galaxy clusters and clusters of clusters.
