Exploring the Universe’s Mysteries
NASA’s Roman Space Telescope is set to revolutionize our understanding of dark matter. This telescope will allow scientists to peer into cosmic ‘lenses’, providing a clearer picture of how dark matter influences the cosmos. Dark matter plays a crucial role in shaping the universe. It affects star movement within galaxies and influences how galaxies form over time. Yet, despite its significance, no current technology has successfully detected dark matter directly.
Through innovative methods, the Roman Space Telescope aims to bridge this gap. By analyzing gravitational lensing, it will enhance our understanding of how dark matter interacts with visible matter. This breakthrough could lead to significant advancements in cosmology, helping scientists piece together the universe’s history and structure.
