JWST Dark Matter Map — Seeing the Invisible

Описание: 🌌 SEEING THE INVISIBLE: JWST MAPS DARK MATTER

Dark matter makes up 85% of all matter. It doesn't interact with light. And yet scientists just mapped it in unprecedented detail. January 26, 2026 — Nature Astronomy published the highest-resolution dark matter map ever created using 255 hours of JWST observations.

📊 IN THIS VIDEO:
• How gravitational lensing reveals dark matter concentrations across 11 billion years
• Why JWST's map is twice as sharp as Hubble's 2007 map and what that reveals about the cosmic web
• What Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will discover when it maps 4,400 times more sky

📊 KEY FACTS:
• Published: January 26, 2026, Nature Astronomy
• Galaxies: Nearly 800,000 (2x Hubble)
• Resolution: 2x sharper than any previous dark matter map
• Correlation: 1-to-1 between dark matter and galaxy clusters (perfect alignment)
• Epoch: Extends to cosmic noon (10-11 billion years ago)
• Lead: Dr. Diana Scognamiglio, NASA JPL
• Field: COSMOS (2 square degrees)
• Next Mission: Nancy Grace Roman (4,400x larger area)

The map confirms Lambda Cold Dark Matter predictions. Dark matter and ordinary matter co-exist in perfect alignment. The cosmic web was already in place during cosmic noon. No anomalies detected.
