Hubble Maps Dark Matter Web in a Large Galaxy Cluster (Individual Image 4)

Curated by ACT

A Hubble study pinpointed four main areas in the supercluster where dark matter has pooled into dense clumps. These areas match the location of hundreds of galaxies that have experienced a violent history in their passage from the outskirts of the supercluster into these dense regions. To make this image, astronomers superimposed the dark matter map over a Hubble visible-light image of the supercluster galaxies.
