How do you measure what you cannot see? Using a radically new and exquisitely sensitive technique called Direct Shear Mapping, which works by measuring the curvature of space-time around massive objects, this project will make the first ever direct measurements of the dark matter halos surrounding approximately 100 individual galaxies in the local Universe.

你如何衡量你看不见的东西？使用一种全新的、极其敏感的技术，称为直接剪切映射，它通过测量大质量物体周围的时空曲率来工作，该项目将首次直接测量围绕本地宇宙中大约100个星系的暗物质晕。
