Galaxy filaments are large-scale structures in the universe that are formed by the gravitational attraction of matter. They are part of the cosmic web, which is the largest-scale structure in the universe, consisting of galaxies and galaxy clusters connected by vast, thin threads of dark matter and intergalactic gas. These filaments typically span millions of light-years and connect clusters of galaxies, creating a web-like pattern throughout the cosmos.
