Galaxy Supercluster Walls - Filaments - in Space

Galaxy Supercluster Walls - Filaments - in Space

Matter in space ranges in size from subatomic particles to galaxy superclusters. In fact, there are larger objects than those—complexes of superclusters called walls or sheets. These structures, as much as one billion light-years across, resemble fine gauze. They are the filaments of space.

Gravitational lensing is a phenomenon that is predicted by Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. In this article, we will discuss the theory of gravitational lensing, the various types of gravitational lensing and their uses and the various sources of this phenomenon and how they are found.
Planetesimal Theory of Planet Formation

Planetesimal Theory of Planet Formation

The Planetesimal theory is a theory of planet formation. We will explore what planetesimals are, what the theory states, the various factors that are taken into account, such as turbulence, what binary planetesimals are and the current state of planetesimals
