Dark matter maps reveal cosmic scaffolding (2007)

Massey, Richard, Rhodes, Jason, Ellis, Richard, Scoville, Nick, Leauthaud, Alexie, Finoguenov, Alexis, ...

Ordinary baryonic particles (such as protons and neutrons) account for only one-sixth of the total matter in the Universe. The remainder is a mysterious "dark matter" component, which does not...
