The Great Cosmic Web

How Galaxies Connect Across Our Universe

Galaxies don’t float alone—they connect like a giant spiderweb.

If you could zoom out on the entire universe, you’d see bright knots of galaxies, long filaments linking them, and vast quiet voids between. That pattern is the cosmic web—and this book shows young readers (ages 8–12) how it formed and how we know it’s there.

Inside you’ll discover:

• How tiny ripples in the baby universe grew into today’s threads and clusters.
• Why galaxies slide along filaments like towns along highways.
• How scientists map the web with redshifts, gravitational lensing, radio waves, and simulations.
• What life is like in bright knots vs. quiet voids—and where we live in the web.

Why kids (and teachers) love it

• Beautiful, visual, and not over-explained—true science told as a story.
• Clean black-and-white diagrams you can sketch or project in class.
• Glossary + references for curious readers who want to dive deeper.

Perfect for: independent readers 8–12, read-alouds, STEM classrooms, science clubs, and homeschool units.

If they loved books on black holes, galaxies, or the Big Bang, this is the next step—zooming out to see how everything connects.
