Dark Matter: How We Study Something We Cannot See πWith Cheyenne Polius
Dark matter makes up most of the universeβ¦ yet we canβt see it, touch it, or shine any kind of light on it. So how on Earth do astronomers study something thatβs completely invisible?
ο»Ώ
Join astrophysicist Cheyenne Polius for a beautifully visual, accessible and mind-expanding introduction to the mysterious material that shapes the cosmos. Through striking images, simple explanations and cosmic storytelling, youβll discover how dark matter forms the vast βcosmic webβ that galaxies, stars and planets are suspended inside. β¨
ο»Ώ
Cheyenne will reveal the clever tricks scientists use to detect something they canβt directly observe - from gravitational lensing to galaxy mapping to the tiny clues hidden in the movement of stars. This is astronomy at its most surprising, elegant and awe-inducing.
Perfect for beginners, space-fans, or anyone curious about the invisible scaffolding of the universe.
