The Fermi telescope 'captured' dark matter

The Fermi glass vision has detected traces of so-called dark matter that account for 85% of the universe's mass.

Dark matter, one of the most secret of physics, is felt only through its gravitational influence on everything around it. It cannot be observed directly because the interaction is too weak with light or with other ordinary matter.

NASA's Fermi space telescope, designed to track gamma rays (ie the most dazzling light of the universe), has captured the sign of the existence of dark matter in the central gamma beam. Galaxy.

Before the unexpected results, project scientist Fermi Julie McEnery said the telescope was required to transfer 'work' immediately, instead of checking neutral stars called metaphors and Super black holes, turning to 'hunting' dark matter, according to the BBC.

According to physicists, dark matter contains relatively heavy particles, when they collide, create a form of high-energy light and fall into Fermi's view.

Finding evidence of dark matter at the center of the Milky Way is the most important outcome that the Fermi mission can achieve, according to expert McEnery.

'We will find something that physicists and astronomers have worked hard for centuries, not only identifying where dark matter exists, but also determining its nature' , according to Fermi project team leader.
