Scientists may have "seen" dark matter for the first time, thanks to NASA's Fermi gamma-ray space telescope. If so, this would mark the first direct detection of the universe's most mysterious substance.

"We detected gamma rays with a photon energy of 20 gigaelectronvolts (or 20 billion electronvolts, an extremely large amount of energy) extending in a halolike structure toward the center of the Milky Way galaxy," Totani said. "The gamma-ray emission component closely matches the shape expected from the dark matter halo."
