Dark Matter: How We Study Something We Cannot See

Dark Matter: How We Study Something We Cannot See 🌌

A Tapped In Talk With Cheyenne Polius

A lecture in a pub with a nice cold beverage... what more could you want? 🍻 We're swapping whiteboards for bar stools and boring PowerPoints for pints.

Dark matter makes up most of the universe… yet we can’t see it, touch it, or shine any kind of light on it. So how on Earth do astronomers study something that’s completely invisible?

Join astrophysicist Cheyenne Polius for a beautifully visual, accessible and mind-expanding introduction to the mysterious material that shapes the cosmos. Through striking images, simple explanations and cosmic storytelling, you’ll discover how dark matter forms the vast “cosmic web” that galaxies, stars and planets are suspended inside. ✨

Perfect for beginners, space-fans, or anyone curious about the invisible scaffolding of the universe.
