It turned out that huge cosmic filaments in the Universe rotate like drills

A team of scientists from the Potsdam Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics in Germany published a study

largest known structures in the Universe in an article in the journal Nature Astronomy.

After analyzing the data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey,scientists have studied 17,000 threads. They found that the way galaxies move inside some of the huge cosmic structures suggests that they rotate around the central axis of the filaments.

The fastest speed at which the researchers recorded the rotation of galaxies around the central axis of the filaments was approximately 360,000 km / h.

Хотя авторы Space.com suggest that the rotation itself is caused by the powerful gravitational fields of these filaments, drawing in gas, dust and other materials, study co-author Noam Libeskind said he is “not entirely sure of the reasons for this process.”

This is partly due to the fact that the fibers are so large that they are incredibly difficult to analyze in detail.

The researchers also note that it wasn't the Big Bang that caused the spinning effect.
