🌌 Mysterious glow in Milky Way could be evidence of dark matter
｢ A mysterious diffuse glow of gamma rays near the center of the Milky Way has stumped researchers for decades, as they've tried to discern whether the light comes from colliding particles of dark matter or quickly spinning neutron stars ｣

The James Webb Appears to Have Spotted a "Dark Star" Powered by Dark Matter
“Supermassive dark stars are extremely bright, giant, yet puffy clouds made primarily out of hydrogen and helium, which are supported against gravitational collapse by the minute amounts of self-annihilating dark matter inside them,”

I can't remember seeing season 3 of Dark Matter the first time I watched the series, but I definitely don't remember a big cliffhanger ending followed by ... cancellation 😭
Imagine The Expanse being cancelled after 3 seasons. Or Orphan Black. Why? Why?!?
I thought at least there were comics it was based on, and I could read those to find out how the story ends. But it seems there were only 4, telling the story of the first few episodes of season 1. Gutted.
Every time the digital voice built into my headphones says something like ...
"Battery, about 80%."
.... it reminds me of Zoie Palmer as the Android in Dark Matter. This makes me happy : )
Palmer is a brilliant performer and criminally underutilised.
EDIT: outside of Dark Matter, where they make excellent use of her range.
Zoie Palmer gives such a fantastic performance as the Android in Dark Matter. She absolutely masters the glassy expression and terse but diplomatic speech pattern you'd expect from a digital personality in 2015. I wonder if Siri was a source of inspiration for her portrayal?
Melon Husk is more Alex Rook than Tony Stark. Rook really shows his true colours in s02e09. Monomaniacal sociopath.

Vera Rubin, the astronomer who pioneered research in Dark Matter (the new Vera Rubin Telescope was named after her)—they just altered her website to remove references to her work in bringing more diverse minds into the field.
So, she pioneered work in dark matter...and now a major tenet of her endeavor becomes...dark matter?

Looking for some distracting mindcandy, so I'm rewatching the 2015-17 space opera series Dark Matter.
Two is badass.

Well, #DarkMatter had a satisfying ending, and I can see how the added elements (those that weren't in the book) make a good set-up for a Season 2. I just hope they don't try to milk this for too long, though.
Gravity from entropy?
