NASA has added three new addition to its Galaxy of Horrors series, which stars ghoulish celestial phenomena in the form of sci-fi film posters from the past.
The new posters feature a dead galaxy, “an explosive gamma-ray burst caused by colliding stellar corpses,” and “ever-elusive dark matter.”
Each poster spotlights a difference space object, and includes factual information about it. However, the graphic designs are a little bit more imaginative. For instance, there isn’t actually a giant ghoulish spider around the dark matter’s web.
In fact, dark matter is actually invisible, and the only way it shows its presence is by pushing and pulling onto the visible objects in that area.
You can learn more about the objects here, and browse through the new posters below.
