The Universe Gives Up Its Deepest Secret, S. Connor, The Independent, 8 January 2007 - 0 views

  •  
    One of the results of the analysis of weak lensing in the COSMOS field was a three-dimensional mass map, described by Massey et al as "the scaffolding of the Universe." Many news outlets covered the COSMOS dark matter map story, but in The Independent the map was presented covering the whole of the front page. (E)

Worlds Collide: The New York Times, 23 August 2006. - 0 views

  •  
    COSMOS was by no means the first time that dark matter mapping with gravitational lensing had attracted publicity. The year before, the lensing analysis of the Bullet Cluster was picked up as providing the "proof" of dark matter's existence. (E)

The Galaxy Zoo Forum: Possible strong gravitational lenses - 0 views

  •  
    In recent years, the citizen scientists of Galaxy Zoo have been carrying out their own search, rediscovering known lenses and finding interesting new candidates in the SDSS and HST image archives. They can be followed (and joined!) at the Galaxy Zoo forum. (E, I)
