This discovery confirms a long-standing theory that galaxies grow by drawing in gas along invisible threads shaped by dark matter.  

The breakthrough provides a rare glimpse into the cosmic scaffolding that fuels galaxy formation. The image not only reveals gas flowing into galaxies but also offers a crucial check on simulations of the universe’s evolution. 

By aligning the real filament with supercomputer models, scientists found an astonishing match, lending support to cold dark matter theories.
