A census of the Universe's baryons indicates that 10% of them could be found inside galaxies, 50 to 60% in the circumgalactic medium, and the remaining 30 to 40% could be located in the warm–hot intergalactic medium (WHIM).

Around 7% of baryons exists in stars and galaxies, while most of it exists around galaxies or galaxy clusters.
