When looking at the stars was a crime
The invisible forces shaping everything
Mysterious structures in the deep dark
Where the laws of physics break down
007skaty The scientific community ignored Zwicky's radical theory about the Coma Cluster, located 321 million light-years away, for decades.
007skaty Observations at Kitt Peak Observatory revealed invisible dark matter halos holding galaxies together.
007skaty Drag galaxies apart to discover how the mysterious push of dark energy expands space.
Invisible universe: Everything we can see, touch, and detect with telescopes makes up only about five percent of the entire universe; the rest is completely dark and mysterious.
A hypothetical form of matter that does not interact with light, detected through its gravitational pull. In the 1970s, astronomer Vera Rubin found galactic stars orbiting unexpectedly fast, providing key evidence of its existence.
In 1933, astronomer Fritz Zwicky discovered evidence of dark matter while studying which specific group of galaxies?
What German term did Fritz Zwicky coin in 1933 to describe the invisible mass holding galaxy clusters together?
At which observatory did Vera Rubin perform her groundbreaking 1970s observations of galaxy rotation speeds?
What did Vera Rubin observe about the rotation speeds of stars on the outer edges of spiral galaxies?
Approximately what percentage of the universe is estimated to be composed of mysterious dark energy?
In what year did astronomers discover that the expansion of the universe is accelerating, leading to the concept of dark energy?
