This new map is not only the most detailed view of the universe’s invisible scaffolding to date, it also allows astronomers to look deeper into cosmic history. Reading time 3 minutes Dark matter—the ...

Astronomers have created the most precise dark matter map ever made using data from the James Webb Space Telescope. The map reveals previously undetected structures that do not correspond to any ...

WASHINGTON, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Using observations from the James Webb Space Telescope in a patch of the sky covering almost three times the area of the full moon, scientists have created the most ...

Cosmic web Created using data from the JWST, this map shows how dark matter acts as the hidden framework on which visible galaxies are built. The overlaid contours mark regions of equal dark-matter ...

Schematic of the night sky areas are outlined with contour lines, similar to elevation lines on a hiking map, revealing the “fingerprints” of dark matter. A Rutgers-led team of scientists has ...

Scientists have created the best ever map of dark matter using subtle distortions in the shape of about 250,000 galaxies. It could help us understand some of the biggest mysteries in the cosmos. “It ...
