DARK MATTER IN THE UNIVERSE Paul J. Green UNSEEN MASS: Astronomers studying the motions of stars and galaxies throughout the universe have long noticed a strange discrepancy. Stars move around galaxies as if pulled by ten times the matter that we can see. ... GRAVITATIONAL LENSING: Since dark matter by definition cannot be directly observed, several recent searches have instead exploited the predicted gravitational effects of its mass on the observed light from nearby stars. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...

... BLUE STRAGGLER STARS are unusually hot and bright stars found in the cores of ancient star clusters known as globulars. ... BACKGROUND (from wikipedia): Blue straggler stars are stars in open or globular clusters that are hotter and bluer than other cluster stars having the same luminosity. ... There is evidence in favor of this view, notably that blue straggler stars appear to be much more common in dense regions of clusters, especially in the cores of globular clusters. ...
