<strong>Image of the Cosmic Web</strong><br />In this image of the cosmic web (in particular, the dark matter distribution) from the Millennium Simulation, every bright point in the image represents a galaxy cluster. The filamentary structure and voids between the filaments are clearly visible here. Credit: V.Springel, Max-Planck Institut für Astrophysik
