Default BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Hubble makes 3D dark matter map

"Astronomers have mapped the cosmic "scaffold" of dark matter upon
which stars and galaxies are assembled.

Dark matter does not reflect or emit detectable light, yet it accounts
for most of the mass in the Universe.

The study, published in Nature journal, provides the best evidence yet
that the distribution of galaxies follows the distribution of dark
matter."

The same astronomers can't even accurately describe what causes global
climate and hemispherical weather patterns (seasons) using the motions
of the Earth .They apply a pseudo-dynamic of variable axial tilt and
draw geocentric conclusions based on solar altitude to the horizon.

The sweeping generalised statements on cosmological structures on
galactic scales should have gone out of fashion but apparently are
still begging attention even as humanity has moved on to other concerns
such as climate and imbalances in climate.

This does not disqualify speculation into why galaxies are shaped the
way they are and why they bear an uncanny resemblence to hurricanes
indicating greater centers of rotation acting to create and maintain
galactic stellar islands -

What is better is to make correct correlations locally and then move on
to bigger structures but unfortunately the same astronomers who create
the exotic 'dark' structures do not even know how to treat and resolve
apparent retrogrades using the Earth's orbital motion.
