A visualization of dark matter in a simulated universe, created by Tom Abel and Ralf Kaehler of the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology at SLAC, is being shared as an astronomy image feature dated October 25, 2026. The render, produced with the American Museum of Natural History, depicts the cosmic web of dark matter that scientists say underlies galaxy formation.

Why now: Striking scientific visualizations of dark matter regularly circulate as astronomy picture features and draw interest for making an invisible substance visible.
