In astronomy, filaments are one of the largest known structures in the Universe, thread-like structures with a typical length of 70 to 150 megaparsec that form the boundaries between large voids in the universe. Filaments consist of galaxies; parts where a large number of galaxies are very close to each other are called superclusters.

In solar astronomy, a filament is a strand of cool plasma suspended over the photosphere by magnetic fields, which appears dark as seen against the disk of the Sun.
In cosmology, a filament is the organizational largest structure of the universe, consisting of superclusters arrayed against voids and supervoids.
In solar astronomy, a filament is a strand of cool gas suspended over the photosphere by magnetic fields, which appears dark as seen against the disk of the Sun.
Contrary to fibres (or staple fibres) which are cut to a selected length, the word "filament" is used in the textile industry to designate an endless or continuous object, the length of which is only limited by the capacity of the spool whereon the filament is wound.
