Dark Matter -

Massive objects warp the space around them, bending light like a lens. By observing how light from distant galaxies is distorted, astronomers can map the "invisible" mass causing the effect, which consistently points to vast reservoirs of dark matter. 🧪 What Could It Be?

Most evidence suggests dark matter is "cold," meaning its particles move slowly relative to the speed of light. 🔭 Key Evidence Dark Matter

Dark matter makes up roughly , dwarfing the "ordinary" matter—stars, planets, and people—which accounts for less than 5%. Massive objects warp the space around them, bending

It does not interact with electromagnetic forces, meaning it is completely transparent. dwarfing the "ordinary" matter—stars
