Hubble finds ring of dark matter
05-15-2007 · EurekAlert!An international team of astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a ghostly ring of dark matter that was formed long ago during a titanic collision between two massive galaxy clusters. It is the first time that a dark matter distribution has been found that differs substantially from the distribution of ordinary matter.

- The first 3-D map of the universe
03-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
An International team of scientists from CNRS (France), CEA, (France) and Caltec (USA) made the first 3-D map of dark matter in the universe using gravitational lensing effects. The team analyzed the Cosmos field, the largest field of galaxies ever observed with the Hubble space telescope. This study can be found in the Jan. 7, 2007, issue of Nature.

- The violent lives of galaxies: Caught in the cosmic matter web
01-10-2008 · EurekAlert!
Astronomers are using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to dissect one of the largest structures in the Universe as part of a quest to understand the violent lives of galaxies. Hubble is providing indirect evidence of unseen dark matter tugging on galaxies in the crowded, rough-and-tumble environment of a massive supercluster of hundreds of galaxies.

- First 3D map of the Universe's dark matter scaffolding
01-07-2007 · European Space Agency (ESA)
By analysing the COSMOS survey – the largest ever survey undertaken with Hubble – an international team of scientists has assembled a three-dimensional map that offers a first look at the web-like large-scale distribution of dark matter in the Universe. This historic achievement, one of the most important results in cosmology, accurately confirms standard theories of structure formation.

- Hubble finds strong contender for galaxy distance record
02-12-2008 · EurekAlert!
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, with a boost from a natural "zoom lens," has found the strongest evidence so far for a galaxy with a redshift significantly above 7. It is likely to be one of the youngest and brightest galaxies ever seen right after the cosmic "dark ages," just 700 million years after the beginning of our universe (redshift ~7.6).
