Hubble makes 3D dark matter map

By Paul Rincon
Science reporter, BBC News, Seattle




Astronomers have mapped the cosmic "scaffold" of dark matter upon which stars
and galaxies are assembled. Dark matter does not reflect or emit detectable
light, yet it accounts for most of the mass in the Universe. The study,
published in Nature journal, provides the best evidence yet that the
distribution of galaxies follows the distribution of dark matter. This is
because dark matter attracts "ordinary" matter through its gravitational pull.
