Dark-matter map points to galaxy formation Jan 8
The Universe is permeated by filaments of invisible dark matter that intersect at galaxies and other major structures. This is the conclusion of astronomers from the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS), who have created the first large-scale map of the distribution of dark matter.
