NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has detected some of the earliest galaxies in the cosmos. Galaxies in the universe aren't randomly dispersed. Rather, they form clusters and are linked via huge filamentary structures with massive interlaying gaps. This arrangement is called "cosmic web" by NASA. Webb has now spotted "a thread-like arrangement of 10 galaxies" that formed 830 million years after the Big Bang.
