An international team led by the University of Oxford in the UK has confirmed the largest cosmic rotation structure ever observed — a chain of galaxies about 140 million light years from Earth embedded “like a blade” in a giant rotating cosmic filament. Known as the “fossil record of cosmic flow,” it provides a new perspective for studying the formation of early cosmic galaxies. The discovery was published in the “Monthly Report of the Royal Astronomical Society” on the 4th.
