Astronomers Claim To Have Found Enormous Lens Like Structures Hiding In The Milky Way

This is something cool:

Astronomers think they may have found giant “invisible” structures lurking in the Milky Way. These things seem to be pretty big – roughly the size of Earth’s orbit around the Sun – and they could help to explain where a bunch of missing matter in the universe is, known as the missing baryon problem.

The detection of these structures was made by astronomers working at the CSIRO’s Compact Array telescope in eastern Australia. Although previous research had hinted at their presence before, this new paper – published in the journal Science – helps to constrain their size and shape a bit better.

Just one more step to confirm that we are indeed in the matrix...
