🪐 In the galaxy cluster Abell 1689, scientists have mapped how dark matter bends light from even more distant galaxies in a phenomenon called gravitational lensing. This cosmic "magnifying glass" effect lets astronomers trace the otherwise invisible dark matter—an unknown substance that reveals itself only through gravity, helping piece together how vast amounts of hidden mass shape entire clusters across the universe. ✨ #darkmatter⚡#abell1689⚡#lensing⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#stars⚡#astronomy⚡#universe⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries 👉more Channels
