Scientists believe that there are planets made of dark matter, and have found a way to look for them

Despite the fact that science has not yet proven the existence of a dark mother, scientists suggest that in our

There are planets in the Universe that are 100% made of it. Moreover, they figured out how to look for them.

What is known

Researchers have developed algorithms thatwill allow to find planets from a mysterious substance. They are based on the assumption that the interaction of a star and a planet from a dark matter will be different from the command of a star and an ordinary exoplanet.

Scientists believe that clumps of dark matter can have a planetary mass. In this case, they will behave like dark exoplanets.

At present, there are many wayswhich make it possible to determine the radius and mass of exoplanets, even if they are very far from us. The researchers suggest that if they manage to detect a planet consisting of dark matter, then their calculations will show unusual results, hinting at other physics. For example, the density will be higher than that of iron.

Over decades of studying the Universe, scientists have been able to discover many exoplanets with different characteristics. However, so far they have not been able to detect anything that would go beyond the scope of physics.
