A new map helps scientists learn about dark matter. This substance holds the universe together, but we cannot see it.

Stars and people make up only a small part of space. Dark matter makes up more than one-fourth of our universe.

We cannot see dark matter directly because it gives no light. Scientists watch how its gravity bends light from far-away galaxies.

The James Webb Space Telescope made this new, very clear map. It shows many galaxies and is better than old maps.

This new map helps us see how dark matter built the universe. Learning about dark matter helps us understand where we come from.
