Dark matter map. Computer model of a dark matter (red) map in part of the universe a billion light years long, the first time the invisible dark matter between visible objects has been mapped. Its position has been inferred from the effect its gravitational pull has on the light (yellow lines) from galaxies (blue). Without dark matter, these lines would be straight. The mass of the visible universe is only about a tenth of that calculated from observations, and dark matter is thought to constitute the missing mass. This work was done by Yannick Mellier and his team from the Paris Astrophysics Institute, France, using the Canada- France-Hawaii Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, USA.

EDITORS COMMENTS

This print showcases a groundbreaking achievement in the field of astrophysics - a computer model of a dark matter map spanning an astonishing billion light years. For the first time ever, scientists have successfully mapped the invisible dark matter that exists between visible objects in our universe. The red hues represent this elusive substance, which has been inferred from its gravitational pull on light, depicted by the mesmerizing yellow lines emanating from galaxies (shown in blue). The significance of this discovery lies in unraveling one of the greatest mysteries of our cosmos. The mass calculated solely from observable entities is merely a fraction compared to what is expected based on observations. Dark matter is believed to account for this missing mass and understanding its properties could revolutionize our comprehension of the universe's structure. Yannick Mellier and his team from the Paris Astrophysics Institute, France, conducted this pioneering work utilizing data obtained through the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope located atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii, USA. By employing gravitational lensing techniques and advanced computational models, they were able to construct this intricate map. This awe-inspiring image serves as a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity as we strive to unlock the secrets hidden within our vast cosmic landscape. It reminds us that there is still so much left to explore and comprehend about our enigmatic universe.
