... Intervening dark matter , which is normally invisible, might show its presence by distorting images originating in the distant universe , much the way an old window distorts images originating on the other side. By noting the degree to which background galaxies appear unusually flat and unusually similar to neighbors, the dark matter distribution producing these weak gravitational lensing distortions can be estimated. ...

... self-absorption - the absorption of light shining on an object by a process similar to that which produced the light originally; if a cloud emits less light than it absorbs from other clouds behind it, this net loss of light, termed self-absorption , causes the foreground cloud to appear darker than the background field (the term is from spectroscopy, where small absorption dips sometimes occur in larger emission lines, making the latter look as if it is absorbing part of itself) . ...

Gratteri Crater, 4.3 miles (6.9 km) across, has a ray pattern whose most distant rays reach about 450 miles (600 km) and perhaps farther. Lunar rays appear bright, but GratteriтАЩs look dark because the image was taken at night by thermal infrared light. In the infrared, rocky areas are bright because they still hold daytime warmth. ... Unlike other ray craters, Gratteri occurred in ancient terrain and may be the source of the oldest Mars meteorite, ALH84001. ...
