A massive galaxy cluster from the C-EAGLE simulation, providing a view of a region comparable to the one where the filaments have been detected. The color map represents the same emission from the gas filaments as the one detected in observations. At the convergence of these filaments, a massive cluster of galaxies are assembling (Image: © Joshua Borrow using C-EAGLE)

Behold the cosmic web. This map shows gas filaments (blue) running from the top to the bottom of the image, linking galaxies in an ancient cluster 12 billion light-years away. The white dots embedded within these filaments are active star forming galaxies, which are being fed by the filaments. (Image credit: Hideki Umehata)

I thought the Gassy Highway was that stretch filled with burrito joints running between Austin and San Antonio.

They're not "gas" filaments, they are plasma filaments. Touch a plasma globe with your finger and you will see a miniature version of the same kind of filament form:

That pic looks like living cells under a microscope.

Stay off the gassy knoll (by the triple underpass).

The appears almost organic. Almost like a collection of nerves.

Amazing.

As they try to unite the theories of the macro and quantum perhaps they are actually the same.
