In astronomy and cosmology, dark matter is an invisible and hypothetical form of matter that does not interact with electromagnetic radiation, including light. Dark matter is implied by gravitational

Gravitational lensing bends light around a massive object from a distant source. The orange arrows show the apparent position of the background source. The white arrows show the path of the light from the true position of the source.
November 2025 JWST observations confirmed an actively growing supermassive black hole within a "little red dot" galaxy named CANUCS-LRD-z8.6.
In physics, gravity, also known as gravitation or a gravitational interaction, is a fundamental interaction, which may be described as the force that draws material objects towards each other.
Dark matter
…matter is an invisible and hypothetical form of matter that does not interact with electromagnetic radiation, including light. Dark matter is implied by gravitational effects that cannot be explained by general relativity unless more matter is present than can be observed. Such effects occur in the context of formation…
The shapes of two massive galaxies in this image evolved under the effects of gravity.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa, where according to legend Galileo performed an experiment about the speed of falling objects
English physicist and mathematician, Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727)
An initially-stationary object that is allowed to fall freely under gravity drops a distance that is proportional to the square of the elapsed time. This image spans half a second and was captured at 20 flashes per second.
