A new study suggests that a NASA telescope may have made the first-ever observation of elusive dark matter, the invisible and mysterious substance that makes up most of the matter in the universe. However, scientists, including the study author, caution that more research is needed to understand the finding.
NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, which studies high-energy wavelengths of light known as gamma-rays, spotted emissions in the center of the Milky Way that may be associated with particles linked with dark matter, according to the study, published Tuesday (Nov. 25) in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics.
