Scientists just mapped the hidden structure holding the Universe together

Scientists used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to create the most detailed map of dark matter ever produced, revealing how this invisible substance acts as the Universe's architect by pulling ordinary matter together through gravity to form galaxies, stars, and planets. The map, covering 800,000 galaxies with unprecedented precision, confirms that dark matter created the essential framework that enabled life to emerge by allowing celestial structures to form much earlier than would otherwise be possible.
