Unfortunately, all this tells astronomers only that dark matter must be there, not what it really is. The evidence for dark matter is all based on how it interacts with gravity at very large scales.

A record-breaking neutrino detection in 2023 may mark the first time humans witnessed a primordial black hole exploding, and these ancient objects could be the dark matter holding galaxies together.
