New astronomical breakthroughs have identified where the universe’s “missing” ordinary matter resides. Using 70 FRBs, including one from 9 billion light-years away, scientists discovered that 76% of ordinary matter exists between galaxies. A separate X-ray study observed an enormous hot gas filament connecting galaxy clusters.New astronomical breakthroughs have identified where the universe’s “missing” ordinary matter resides.
