Dark Matter Filament Studied for the First Time
ESA Science & Technology: Dark matter filament studied in 3D for the first time [heic1215]
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have studied a giant filament of dark matter in 3D for the first time. Extending 60 million light-years from one of the most massive galaxy clusters known, the filament is part of the cosmic web that constitutes the large-scale structure of the Universe, and is a leftover of the very first moments after the Big Bang.
