Observing dark matter at cosmic dawn
After almost a century of speculation, proposals and searches for dark matter, physicists now know that it currently comprises about 27% of the universe's mass-energy, with an abundance over five times that of ordinary matter like you,
The true nature of dark matter may be revealed in a supernova
The nature of dark matter has puzzled astronomers since discovering that 85% of the universe's matter is invisible through our telescopes.
Dark Matter Might Have Formed Earlier than Thought
The big cosmic joke of dark matter is that, although we can’t see it, it apparently makes up the vast majority of all the matter in the universe. We literally can’t see the forest for the trees. We’re also not sure when and where it came from.
A Nearby Supernova Could Finally Solve the Dark Matter Puzzle
Researchers believe that observing gamma rays from a supernova could confirm the existence of axions, potentially solving the mystery of dark matter. UC Berkeley scientists suggest that the detection
A Supernova In A Nearby Galaxy Could Reveal Dark Matter – If We’re Lucky
Physicists find themselves wishing upon a star (to explode) to solve one of the most frustrating questions in science.
A nearby supernova could end the search for dark matter
The search for the universe's dark matter could end tomorrow—given a nearby supernova and a little luck. The nature of dark matter has eluded astronomers for 90 years, since the realization that 85% of the matter in the universe is not visible through our telescopes.
