To crack the mystery of dark matter, physicists turn to ... - Science
WEBApr 28, 2022 · By harnessing the strange rules of the subatomic realm, quantum sensors could solve one of the universe’s biggest mysteries. A collision of galaxy clusters separated gas (pink) from dark matter (blue), mapped from subtle gravitational distortions in the images of background galaxies.
Dark Matter: Bullet Cluster - ViewSpace
WEBBased on the slightly warped shapes of galaxies, mass—mostly dark matter—in each cluster is mapped and shown in blue. In visible light, the relationship between two massive galaxy clusters is unclear.
Dark matter: Taking a closer look at the (un)usual suspects
WEBJan 20, 2021 · Blue indicates dark matter, as determined by gravitational lensing observations, while pink denotes regular, visible matter.
Dark Matter | Fermilab Cosmic Physics Center
WEBDark matter comprises most of the mass of the universe. In this false-color image of the Bullet cluster of galaxies, the presence of dark matter (blue) is detected from the gravitational force that it exerts on the light of background galaxies.
Dark Matter: Why study it? What makes it so fascinating?
WEBJun 29, 2024 · The study of dark matter comprises some of the most fundamental questions pertaining to cosmology, the nature of the universe, and our place in it. What is the universe made of? How did it form?

Dark Matter Telescope’s Dazzling New Images Shine - Scientific American
WEBJun 14, 2024 · M78 is what’s called a reflection nebula; two nearby massive young blue supergiant stars illuminate the cloud, and that light is scattered towards us, making the cloud’s dust appear blue.
Dark Matter - NASA Science
WEBMar 23, 2008 · The relatively weak distortions of the many distant faint blue galaxies all over the image, however, indicates the existence of the dark matter ring. The computationally modeled dark matter ring spans about five million light years and has been digitally superimposed to the image in diffuse blue.
