#darkmatter

i hate the world of #streaming.

i love the show #DarkMatter (the one from 2014/2015) but i can only buy seasons 2 and 3 on prime video.

i’ve finished season 3 and want to go back and rewatch, but the only place i can see season 1 is on appletv

that’s annoying, imo.

i know, first world problems, but fml

These results raise the question where we can track down dark matter? What do we know in the least model-dependent way?
For strong lensing, the question has an answer, look at this video for a recent summary:

2) the Bullet cluster is a more complicated structure than a binary system of two big dark-matter clumps that are offset to the baryons:

Masses were reduced and bounds on SIDM were set. Looks like we need less dark matter if the structure is more complex!

...and there is also a method to constrain dark matter properties purely from the multiple images, see this NASA press release for more:

NASA Science · ‘Double’ Galaxy Mystifies Hubble AstronomersBy NASA Hubble Mission Team

[Zoom on the #CosmicWeb] Have you dived into the deep fields of #Euclid revealed this Wednesday by the @ec_euclid ? Have you navigated between the thousands of #galaxies of different shapes, sizes, colors and masses? So many objects, near and far, fill our #Universe! sky.esa.int/esasky/?hide_welco

What if their spatial distribution could tell us something about two mysterious components : #DarkMatter and #DarkEnergy? This is the gamble taken by the scientists involved in the Euclid mission. To do so, they've designed some unrivalled #instruments: a camera with great depth of field and high resolution records the variety of shapes and spatial distribution of galaxies, while a #spectrometer coupled with a #photometer can determine the distances and masses of galaxies ...
