The location of galaxies across our universe don't randomly exist. Instead, they are connected by a threadlike arrangement with massive barren "oceans" of dark matter in between them. Known as the "cosmic web," a term that was coined in 1996 by the University of Toronto's Richard Bond, it provides the building blocks for infrastructure of the universe. Think of it like a blueprint for all of existence.
While astronomers know that the cosmic web exists, how it evolved into what it is today largely remains a mystery. However, using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a team of astronomers have now discovered a peculiar string of 10 threaded galaxies in the early universe that existed 830 million years after the Big Bang.
