Half the observable matter in the universe is in filaments of gas connecting galaxies

 An interesting article about where some 50% of ordinary matter, the observable stuff you and I are made of. is in filaments of gas and plasma connecting galaxies. Some of these filaments are tens of millions of light-years long. Big Bang models of the universe, through computer simulations of the evolution of the universe, predict such filaments, and now astronomers have figured out several ways to finally see them. Truly fascinating! Check it out.
