Written Assignment-11

Dark matter and dark energy are two of the biggest mysteries in science today.

In a 2-3 paragraph essay, identify one piece of evidence for the existence of either dark matter or dark energy, and describe it in detail.

Explain why the observations you have chosen are scientifically convincing evidence for the existence of dark matter or dark energy.
