The Ursa Major Filament is a vast cosmic structure in the universe consisting of a group of galaxies and galaxy clusters that are connected by gravitational forces and dark matter. This filament is part of the larger cosmic web, which is the large-scale structure of the universe. The filament gets its name from its location in the sky near the Ursa Major constellation. Cosmic filaments are critically important for cosmology, as they provide insights into the formation of galaxies and the distribution of matter in the universe.
