Dark Matter Detected in Cosmic Web's Filaments for First Time
Using the Subaru Telescope, astronomers have observed dark matter in the Coma Cluster, marking a significant breakthrough in cosmic research.
- Astronomers have detected dark matter within the cosmic web's filaments for the first time, using the Subaru Telescope.
- The discovery was made in the Coma Cluster, a vast collection of over a thousand galaxies located 321 million light-years away.
- The detection of dark matter in the cosmic web could provide insights into the universe's evolution and confirm the structure's influence.
- The findings suggest that dark matter forms an invisible scaffold along which the universe's structure takes shape.
- This breakthrough supports the theory that dark matter dominates the filaments of the cosmic web, shaping the distribution of galaxies.
