Dark matter does not interact with light or electromagnetic radiation making it completely invisible to telescopes (Image Source: SciTechDaily).
Its role is essential in shaping the universe, gravity holds galaxies together and influences their rotation. Without dark matter, galaxies would not form (Image Source: NASA).
It can not be categorized based on its temperature. Cold is slow-moving structures like galaxies while warm and hot matter particles move faster (Image Source: Forbes).
There is no such evidence of what dark matter is made up of.
Scientists worldwide are actively searching for dark matter. This includes detectors to capture potential interactions between dark particles and ordinary matter (Image Source: National Geographic).
Dark matter’s gravitational pull helps to hold galaxies and their clusters together.
