description Vera Rubin Overview
Vera Rubin was an American astronomer whose work on galactic rotation rates provided strong evidence for the existence of dark matter. Her observations revealed that stars in galaxies move at speeds that cannot be explained by visible matter alone, suggesting the presence of a mysterious form of matter that does not interact with light. This research has had a profound impact on our understanding of cosmology and astrophysics. Rubin's contributions have been recognized posthumously with numerous awards and honors.
