Dark Matter and Dark Energy: The Frontier of Astronomy

For a while now, we've been discussing all of things we know about the universe. What about some of the things we don't know?

If we look to the current frontier of astronomy, we find two mystifying concepts, dark matter and dark energy.

What are these things?

How do we know they exist?

Do we have any guesses as to what they are?

QeNspAwdgRY the-first-evidence-for-dark-matter-in-a-black-hole The First Evidence for Dark Matter in a Black Hole? The Event Horizon Telescope’s image of Messier 87’s supermassive black hole has given us such a precise measurement of its mass that a recent study has claimed that you can now tell that the black hole contains at least 2 billion times the mass of the Sun’s worth of dark matter.
