dark matter map

WHERE THE MATTER LIES  This new map of dark matter covers an area about 700 times as large as the full moon as viewed from Earth’s surface. Areas with relatively little dark matter are blue; regions with a lot are yellow and red. The gray dots indicate the locations of known galaxy clusters, with the size of the circle representing the cluster’s mass.

Dark matter can’t be seen, but a new map shows where it’s hiding.
