Dark matter: smooth or clumpy?! | The Dark Energy Survey Results!
A week ago the Dark Energy Survey released its long-awaited 3 years worth of data - the positions of 226 million galaxies! Along with that came a whole load of new science in 30 papers (!) - I dived into them and picked out all the highlights, plus I spoke to Dr. Alexandra Amon on the DES team about her results showing dark matter might be distributed more smoothly than. we thought.
Here's the video with my full chat with Dr. Alexandra Amon: https://youtu.be/la8yanvdb2c

👩🏽💻 I'm Dr Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on *how* we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.
