SCIENCE CONCEPT
Researchers use astronomical surveys to build maps of the location of dark matter in the universe based on how the light from distant galaxies bends as it travels to us. Dark matter makes up about 85 percent of the total matter in the universe, accounting for more than five times as much as all ordinary matter.

APPLICATION
Dark Matter Makes Up the Majority of the Universe.Dark Matter Cannot Be Seen or Detected. Dark Matter Provides the Cosmic Glue. The Existence of Dark Matter Was First Proposed in the 1930s. Dark Matter Does Not Emit, Absorb, or Reflect Light. Dark Matter Can Affect the Motion of Visible Matter.

CAREER
Astrophysicist, he was a pioneer in the study of supernovas, neutron stars, cosmic rays, and dark matter. He was far ahead of his time in conceiving of supernovas, neutron stars, dark matter, and gravitational lenses. His innovative work in any one of these areas would have brought fame and honors to a scientist with a more conventional personality.

SCIENTIST
Fritz Zwicky (1898–1974)
Fritz Zwicky might be one of the most famous dark matter scientists in astronomy history. Born in Bulgaria to Swiss parents, Fritz Zwicky moved to the US at the age of 27 to assist Nobel scientist Robert Millikan in his studies of solid state physics at the California Institute of Technology. He joined the California Institute of Technology Caltech.in 1925 to work on the physics of crystal structure. But he was soon caught up in the excitement of astronomical research |
