Vera Rubin, a US astronomer who pioneered work on invisible dark matter in the universe has died at 88, her son said on Monday.
Rubin used galaxies’ rotations to discover the first direct evidence of dark matter in the 1970s, while working at the Carnegie Institution in Washington.
Dark matter has not been directly observed, but has been inferred through works by Rubin and other astronomers and physicists.
