Dark Universe

The stars, planets, and everything you can see are less than 5 % of the universe. What is the other 95 %? Visualize the distribution of dark matter in the universe. An instrument on board the ISS is used to learn about dark matter. View the Milky Way galaxy spangled with exploding supernovas, novel renderings of phenomena like dark matter, and spectacular scenes of spacecraft such as the Galileo probe’s breath‐taking plunge into Jupiter’s atmosphere and ESA’s Planck space telescope detailing the cosmic microwave background.
