What makes dark matter invisible to telescope?
Correct answer: C. Dark matter does not interact with electromagnetic force
- A. Dark matter interacts with electromagnetic force for very short duration
- B. Dark matter does not interact with electrostatic force
- C. Dark matter does not interact with electromagnetic force
- D. None of the aboveAstronomy

About Astronomy and Space
Astronomy covers the structure and motions of the solar system, planets, satellites, comets, asteroids and meteoroids, together with gravity, eclipses, seasons and phases of the Moon. It also introduces stars, galaxies, nebulae, black holes, space telescopes and satellites, while distinguishing rotation from revolution and meteors from meteorites.
