COSMIC MESSAGE
What is our galaxy made of? Stellar motions indicate far more mass than just stars and gas. Images like these may offer a clue about dark matter. This is the first recorded instance of a dim star in our galaxy moving in front of a bright background star. The foreground star's gravity deflected light, making the background star appear much brighter.
