#1

Post by SkyHiker »


Dark matter may be a misnomer, let's call it Fred from here on. Neil de Grasse Tyson presents an entertaining discussion about dark stuff and upcoming missions to investigate this.

Good video Henk. No reason not to look at things in different ways until we do know how to look at them!

Not sure how old the video is but WFIRST has been the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope for a while now and the LSST similarly is the Vera Rubin Observatory. But you probably knew that! 😀
