invisible clouds of dark matter in the foreground-a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing. Scientists have a few ideas for what dark matter might be. One leading hypothesis is that dark matter ...

Dark matter is invisible, non-baryonic matter hypothesized to explain phenomena including gravitational lensing and galactic rotation curves. Dark energy is thought to permeate the Universe and ...

Gravitational lensing has numerous applications, e.g. in the search for extrasolar planets, the interpretation of images of supermassive black holes or the mapping of the distribution of dark matter.
