Dutch scientists of the SRON have discovered parts of the cosmic web with a new telescopePress publication:

"XMM-Newton discovers part of the missing matter in the Universe A team of astronomers from SRON discovered part of the missing matter in the Universe using the European X-ray satellite XMM-Newton. The existence of the tenuous hot gas, which is believed to be located within the connecting threads of the enormous cosmic web, was predicted by theoreticians about 10 years ago.
