Astronomers Suggest That Entire Stars Are Being Obscured by Giant "Lampshades" of Dark Matter

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-28 17:30:31

Hunting for dark matter, the invisible substance thought to account for 85 percent of all mass in the cosmos, isn't easy. If it interacts with light at all, it does so incredibly weakly. Still, we can see its handiwork everywhere, with its gravitational pull determining the formation of everything from whole galaxies to individual stars. Now a team of astronomers is proposing a new technique for searching for dark matter — and it runs counter to its reputation as a completely invisible, light-i

TL;DR Nothing teases its upcoming Phone 3 with a new design element called “Glyph Matrix.” The teaser suggests dot matrix-style lighting on the back of the device, potentially for more intricate light patterns.
