This paper will hopefully provide an overview of the mystery of black holes and briefly discuss the nature of black holes, the causes of black holes and their types. So, what are

The purity of this statement still holds true, in fact, current research provides evidence to support this declaration. Yet, the tenacity of the Universe still baffles even the brightest in the field, leaving the world mystified by the unknown.

DeVry University Professor Clarke-Peterson Outline/Proposal on Dark Ages I. Introduction and Thesis The Dark Ages refer to the medieval period in the studies of humanity.

However, a galaxy has been found that is as big as our galaxy but is almost entirely dark matter. Named Dragonfly 44, this galaxy consists of 99.9% dark matter. The galaxy was first detected last year through the use of WM Keck Observatory and the Gemini North Telescope in Manuakea, Hawaii, when the Dragonfly Telephoto Array noticed a region of the sky

Dark matter is everywhere, shooting through you every second of your day. You must ask yourself the question of how a particle so heavy in mass, a particle that can influence whole galaxies in the way they spin and their positioning in the universe, is still yet to be detected? This is down to the fact it doesn’t interact with light at all, it is literally ‘invisible’. Dark matter is the building blocks of the universe, without it, star systems like the Milky Way would cease to exist. Dark matter
