Astrophysics• Hubble scientists created first three-
dimensional map of dark matter distribution in the universe
• Chandra revealed evidence of a light echo from Milky Way’s supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*
• Spitzer reveals supernova explosion may topple the ”Pillars of Creation”
• JWST reached critical milestone when 9 of 10 technologies reached TRL6
