Scientists made a new map of far galaxies using the James Webb Space Telescope. The map may help explain dark matter, an invisible material in space. Ordinary matter like stars and planets forms only a small part of the universe. Researchers created the map to learn more about space and its history. The project shows a large area of the sky and many galaxies from long ago.
Scientists studied how dark matter bends light from galaxies. This method helped them find big galaxy groups and thin space lines that connect them. The map helps experts study how the universe grew over time. Scientists believe the discovery will help future space research. The work shows that people still want to understand the universe.
