Ganymede: A Giant Radar for Detecting Dark Matter?

Scientists propose using⁣ Ganymede, ‌the largest moon of Jupiter and the largest natural satellite‌ in the solar system, as a kind of giant “radar” to detect dark⁢ matter.

Dark matter is notoriously difficult to⁢ find‍ because it does not emit or reflect light.‌ However, astrophysicists⁣ believe in its existence due to the gravitational force it exerts⁣ on galaxies and galaxy groups.It is ⁣estimated that dark matter forms about 27% of the universe’s content, far exceeding ordinary‍ matter, ⁣which makes up ⁣only 5%.

The challenge lies in the ⁣mysterious nature of dark matter particles. Many candidates exist, ranging from light particles like ​axions to ⁣massive objects like mini black holes. Direct detection efforts have so far been unsuccessful.

According⁤ to research published on Arxiv, titled “Dark Wounds on ⁤Icy Moons:⁢ Ganymede’s Subsurface Ocean as a Dark Matter Detector,” Ganymede could be a natural place to‌ find traces of dark matter collisions. The moon ⁣has a very thick ice‌ layer⁣ and is relatively…

FAQ

  • What is‍ dark⁤ matter? Dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter ⁢that does not interact⁤ with light, making it invisible‌ to telescopes.
  • Why⁣ is Ganymede a ‍good place to look ⁤for dark matter? Ganymede’s icy surface could potentially record collisions with dark matter particles.
