Observational Evidence for Dark Matter in Indian Astronomy

Jayant Narlikar first proposed the existence of dark matter in Indian astronomy in the 1960s.

Astrosat is an Indian satellite that was launched in 2015 to study dark matter, among other things.

The Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope is used to study dark matter, among other things.

LUX-Zeplin is an Indian experiment that is searching for dark matter.

The main observational evidence for dark matter in Indian astronomy is the rotation curves of galaxies.

Vikram Sarabhai first observed the rotation curves of galaxies in the 1960s.

The rotation curves of galaxies are flat, meaning that the velocity of stars in galaxies does not decrease with distance from the center of the galaxy.

The flatness of the rotation curves of galaxies implies that there is a large amount of dark matter in galaxies.

The gravitational lensing of light is the bending of light by a massive object.

The gravitational lensing of light implies that there is a large amount of dark matter in the universe.

The cosmic microwave background is the leftover radiation from the Big Bang.

The cosmic microwave background implies that there is a large amount of dark matter in the universe.

The abundance of light elements is the amount of hydrogen and helium in the universe.

The abundance of light elements implies that there is a large amount of dark matter in the universe.

The future of dark matter research in Indian astronomy is bright. There will be more research on the observational evidence for dark matter, the theoretical models of dark matter, and the experimental searches for dark matter.
