Webb telescope reveals most detailed dark matter map ever created
Published in Nature Astronomy, the study details how Webb's infrared instruments charted nearly 800,000 galaxies in the COSMOS field. The data reveal how dark matter – undetectable by light but dominant in mass – has shaped the universe's structure from its earliest epochs.Read Entire Article
Dark matter is one of the greatest mysteries of the universe. The map shows it with unprecedented accuracy.
Often, images that come to us from outer space possess such perfection that they make us doubt. However, this is completely real and marks a milestone in the history of modern astronomy. NASA has managed to reveal the invisible skeleton of the cosmos by means of a map of overwhelming technical precision. This new spatial cartography exposes the distribution of dark matter with a high resolution never seen. Although the visual complexity of the f…

Black matter does not emit or absorb light, but plays a fundamental role in the evolution of galaxies and structures. As it only interacts with gravity, one of the most direct ways to study it is the gravitational lens effect: the deviation of light from distant galaxies by an intermediate mass. A team of researchers has just used this method with images from the Webb telescope to provide a map of the most detailed dark mass to date. The study i…
The James-Webb telescope has been able to map part of the distribution of dark matter in the observable Universe. It is the most accurate map to date and should help us to penetrate the secrets of the growth of galactic structures, but not only.
