Hidden galaxies found in the depths of the Spiderweb protocluster
1 day ago · The Spiderweb protocluster: A cosmic hub. The Spiderweb Protocluster is not just a fascinating collection of galaxies – it is a key piece of evidence to understand how the largest structures in the universe come to life. Protoclusters like the Spiderweb act as cosmic hubs, where galaxies gather and evolve under the influence of gravity.
