Astronomers Observe Blobs of Dark Matter Down to a Scale of 30,000 Light-Years Across

Although dark matter appears to dominate the mass of the Universe, astronomers still don't know what it is and haven't been able to study it in the lab. But its impact on the Universe can be mapped, thanks to gravitational lensing, where the mass of dark matter distorts the path taken by light that passes through it. A new team of researchers has mapped out regions of dark matter with unprecedented detail, down to a scale of 30,000 light-years. These fluctuations will allow astronomers to constrain its causes better.

Dark matter is mysterious, but some scientists think it may be gathering in the ultra-dense innards of neutron stars, potentially causing them to detonate in massive explosions. More from Live Science: flip.it/KPwZLH

And no, we can't send goodies to every follower, as much as we wanted to. However, over the next years will provide science-grade data for 15,000 square degrees of the sky to scientists and the public. To everyone, for everyone!

That's 1,000,000 (one million!) times the area of our First Light images 😳, and a total of about 30,000,000,000,000 (3x10^13) science pixels worth of night sky! 😯

We would like to welcome @oceane as our 1000th follower - yay! 🎇 A small goodie bag will be heading their way soon. 🎉

It's great to see such a diverse set of people from such a diversity of backgrounds interested in this mission. Rightfully so 😉!

Scientists are digging deep underground to find dark matter, the mysterious substance that makes up most of the matter in the universe. Dark matter does not interact with light or ordinary matter, so it can only be detected by its gravitational effects. Finding dark matter could help us understand the origin and evolution of the cosmos and the nature of reality itself.

"Required dark matter properties"

... we have two very different requirements on the dark matter. From a cosmological perspective, we need it to be dynamically cold. Something non baryonic that does not interact with photons or easily with baryons.

From a galactic perspective, we need something that knows intimately about what the baryons are doing.

has successfully completed its . A collaborative effort of , the @ec_euclid, and industry partners established communication 📡, turned on and checked both instruments, focussed the 🔭, and tested spacecraft pointing 🛰️.

This is now complete, and the teams have moved on to "performance verification", observing science-like sequences and calibration images.
