Dark Matter: How We Study Something We Cannot See 🌌
With Cheyenne Polius

Dark matter makes up most of the universe… yet we can’t see it, touch it, or shine any kind of light on it. So how on Earth do astronomers study something that’s completely invisible?

Join astrophysicist Cheyenne Polius for a beautifully visual, accessible and mind-expanding introduction to the mysterious material that shapes the cosmos. Through striking images, simple explanations and cosmic storytelling, you’ll discover how dark matter forms the vast “cosmic web” that galaxies, stars and planets are suspended inside. ✨

Cheyenne will reveal the clever tricks scientists use to detect something they can’t directly observe - from gravitational lensing to galaxy mapping to the tiny clues hidden in the movement of stars. This is astronomy at its most surprising, elegant and awe-inducing.

Perfect for beginners, space-fans, or anyone curious about the invisible scaffolding of the universe.
