Category: Dark Matter

Dark matter is a mysterious and invisible substance that makes up about 27% of the universe’s total mass and energy. It does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it undetectable by conventional telescopes. However, its presence is inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter, such as galaxies and galaxy clusters. Dark matter plays a crucial role in the formation and structure of the universe, helping to explain the motion of galaxies and the behavior of large cosmic structures. Despite extensive research, the true nature of dark matter remains one of the biggest mysteries in astrophysics.
