A groundbreaking study reveals that previously undetected clouds of hydrogen gas may account for the universe’s elusive missing matter. This discovery could reshape our understanding of cosmic structures and black hole activity.
Researchers, using data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument and the Atacama Cosmology Telescope, found extensive halos of ionized hydrogen surrounding galaxies. This gas may bridge the gaps between galaxies, potentially explaining half of the normal matter previously unaccounted for. Experts believe this could lead to significant changes in cosmological models and our understanding of black hole behavior.
