News in Science › StarStuff › Space and Astronomy Survey to build largest map of dark matter The biggest survey of dark energy and dark matter ever undertaken about to begin in Australia. Click to listen Download audio MP3 This week on StarStuff: Biggest ever dark matter survey Astronomers are about to embark a project to measure a million galaxies, building the largest map of dark matter ever attempted. Alien planet in our solar system A new study claims the distant world of Sedna may be an alien planet captured by the Sun's gravity, from another star system 4.6 billion years ago. Australian researchers have discovered that Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer sensor can detect coral bleaching down to depths of ten metres, meaning Envisat could potentially map coral bleaching on a global scale.




Largest ever map of dark matter is created using light from 100 MILLION galaxies
