🌌🔭 Cosmic breakthrough! A new high-res map from James Webb & Chandra telescopes captures distant galaxies warped by dark matter—revealing its invisible grip on 85% of the universe’s mass. A step closer to unlocking space’s secrets! Read more: https://apnews.com/article/dark-matter-galaxies-map-james-webb-telescope-150691a1349cd39961ca24ab0e87c688
A new high-resolution map of distant galaxies may help scientists understand the mysterious dark matter holding the universe together. For decades, researchers have hoped to demystify what’s known as dark matter: an invisible substance that comprises just over a quarter of our universe. Scientists can't study it directly, but they can observe how it warps the star stuff around it. In the latest study, they charted hundreds of thousands of galaxies over 10 billion years, creating one of the most detailed maps to date. Scientists can study it to see how dark matter has clumped up over time. The study was published Monday in Nature Astronomy.
🌌💥 Mind-blowing find! Astronomers just discovered the most powerful black hole jet ever seen in the Milky Way — stretching 140 light-years and blasting energy at nearly the speed of light. This massive outburst may have shaped our galaxy’s history. Read more: https://phys.org/news/2026-02-dark-black-hole-power-milky.html
Our Milky Way galaxy may not have a supermassive black hole at its center but rather an enormous clump of mysterious dark matter exerting the same gravitational influence, astronomers say. They believe this invisible substance—which makes up most of the universe's mass—can explain both the violent dance of stars just light-hours (often used to measure distances within our own solar system) away from the galactic center and the gentle, large-scale rotation of the entire matter in the outskirts of the Milky Way.
