Dark matter, as its name suggests, is incredibly dark—so dark, in fact, that it doesn’t interact with light or any other part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Despite making up about 80 percent of all matter in the universe and playing a vital role in galaxy formation, we still don’t really know what it is.
Of all the methods and techniques used to unravel this mystery, I never would have thought I’d be writing about the Moon and how it could help us. However, new research suggests that future missions to the far side of the Moon could play a crucial role in determining the mass of individual dark matter particles.
