The map of dark matter was created by the international Dark Energy Survey (DES) team. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/may/27/astronomers-create-largest-map-universe-dark-matter-einstein “It may seem a relatively small thing, but if these hints are true then it may mean there’s something wrong with Einstein’s theory of general relativity, one of the great pillars of physics.” ... Lahav isn’t prepared to go that far himself, yet: “What I say is: ‘Look, don’t be too relaxed. There’s something there which might indicate a disparity. Work hard, try to understand it by conventional means, but keep your eyes open that it could lead to a revolution in physics.’ ”
Q 16 hours ago N Jeffrey/Dark Energy Collaboration This is the most detailed map of of the distribution of dark matter in the Universe. The bright areas represent its highest concentrations - which is where galaxies form
Reider Hahn/Fermilab 100 million galaxies were surveyed at the Victor M Blanco telescope in Chile to produce the map
