COSMOS Web” refers to both a vast cosmic structure in the universe and a cutting-edge scientific initiative. The cosmic web is a vast network of interconnected filaments and voids that forms the large-scale structure of the universe, with galaxies clustering along these filamentary structures. The COSMOS-Web project, utilizing the powerful capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), seeks to map this cosmic web in unprecedented detail. Focusing particularly on the Epoch of Reionization, the formation of early galaxies, and the evolutionary processes of galaxies over cosmic time, this wide-field observational project aims to unravel key mysteries about the universe’s development from its infancy.
