The new issue of Worlds of IF Science Fiction is out. It features a beautiful cover art "Out of an Amber Sky" by Rodney Matthews. An essay with a Lovecraftian title: "From Deep Darkness Came Murmurs of Awakening", by yours truly. And much more.
Check this out: this a tactile model of the Cosmic Web, produced by Amelia Ortiz Gil, Vicent Martinez and team as part of their project: Tactile 3D models for research and outreach in astronomy.
The model used is the Cosmic V-Web inferred from Cosmicflows-2:

I had the pleasure to be interviewed by Alexandre Morales for France Culture, to talk about the discovery of Quipu, one of the largest known structure of the Universe. It will air tomorrow morning at 6:52.
Here is the press release by the authors of the discovery at MPI Garching https://www.mpg.de/24197951/largest-superstructure-in-the-nearby-universe
www.mpg.deLargest superstructure in the nearby universe discoveredScientists have identified a colossal superstructure of dark matter, marking a significant advancement in cosmological research
These two covers do get along together quite nicely!

Wowzer! Map of cosmic flows, by yours truly, makes it to the cover of the Nature Astronomy journal.
"Galaxies from
wherever flock
together"
I'm no poet, but could this be a Haiku?

A map of the structure surrounding the Local Void
In this map our Milky Way galaxy lies at the origin of the red-green-blue orientation arrows, each 200 million lightyears in length.

2005: Discovery of the Sloan Great Wall
by J. Richard Gott and co-authors
https://doi.org/10.1086/428890
At the time of its discovery, this 1.37 billion light-years long filament is the largest observed structure in the Universe.
We Are Here

A probabilistic new map of the universe surrounding the Milky Way reveals that our galaxy is likely part of an even larger "basin of attraction" than we previously assumed
Get ready to feel cosmically insignificant.
