“The models were right”: astronomers find ‘missing’ matter Astronomers have discovered a huge filament of hot gas bridging four galaxy clusters At 10 times as massive as our galaxy, the thread could contain some of the Universe’s ‘missing’ matter, addressing a decades-long mystery
Astronomers Finally Find the Universe’s Missing Matter with . . . In other words, astronomers have found the address of the universe’s long-lost matter—and it’s right there in the void Illuminating the Cosmic Fog To reach this conclusion, Connor and his team analyzed 60 fast radio bursts collected from galaxies ranging from 12 million to over 9 billion light-years away
A New GPS for the Intergalactic Medium: Astronomers Have . . . Cambridge, MA— A new landmark study has pinpointed the location of the Universe's "missing" matter, and detected the most distant fast radio burst (FRB) on record Using FRBs as a guide, astronomers at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard Smithsonian (CfA) and Caltech have shown that more than three-quarters of the Universe's ordinary matter has been hiding in the thin gas between
Astronomers Locate the Universe’s Long-Lost Missing Matter Next Steps in the Search for Dark Matter While the mystery of missing ordinary matter is now resolved, another enigma remains Dark matter, the unseen mass that makes up the bulk of the universe, continues to elude direct detection “We can now move on to even more important mysteries regarding the ordinary matter in the universe,” Connor
