The Dark Matter Day

Throughout the month of October, the world will celebrate the historic hunt for the unseen—something that scientists refer to as dark matter.

Since 2017, more than 159 global, regional, and local events have been held on and around October 31 by institutions and individuals looking to engage the public in discussions about what we already know about dark matter and the many present as well as planned experiments seeking to solve its mysteries.

Francesca Figueras Siñol, astrophysicist and researcher at the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the UB (ICCUB) delves into this great question in the Catalan radio program La Nit dels Ignorants of Catalunya Ràdio last Wednesday, September 14.
