It's been
theorized for a while, but scientists have recently used the Keck Telescope in Hawaii to actually
see the web of gas that connects galaxies and stars, using the light of a quasar. UM-287, the quasar in question, was giving off so much light that the gas was actually visible. The discovery has – ahem – shed light on much about the structure of the universe and intergalactic gas.
Also, "Intergalactic Gas" is my
Spacehog cover band.
