Trapped Under Ice: Looking for Dark Matter in Antarctica
Almost everyone in astronomy has the utmost confidence in this thing called dark matter: it explains how galaxies behave, temperature fluctuations in the Cosmic Microwave Background, and a number of related things too technical to explain here. It's...
