We can see this in the large by observing the http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/Lyman-alpha-forest.html on lines of sight through and near galaxy clusters. For example, [presentation abstract] https://depts.washington.edu/astron/event/tba-liang-dai/ [related paper https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.03149v2 ] or…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1706.07870/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
