Dark matter is a form of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible and detectable only through its gravitational effects on visible matter. It is believed to constitute approximately 27% of the universe, influencing the structure and evolution of galaxies and galaxy clusters.

Gravitational effects dictate the attraction between masses, influencing everything from the orbit of planets to the flow of tides. They are essential for understanding the fundamental interactions in the universe, as articulated by Newton's law of universal gravitation and further refined by Einstein's general theory of relativity.

Galaxy clusters are the largest gravitationally bound structures in the universe, consisting of hundreds to thousands of galaxies along with dark matter and hot gas. They are crucial for understanding the large-scale structure of the cosmos and provide insights into the distribution and behavior of dark matter and the evolution of galaxies.
