Mit: Blossoms: Galaxies and Dark Matter

Curated by ACT

This video lesson has the goal of introducing students to galaxies as large collections of gravitationally bound stars. It explores the amount of matter needed for a star to remain bound and then brings in the idea of Dark Matter, a new kind of matter that does not interact with light. [1:04:14]
