Vera Rubin, Pioneering Astronomer Who Confirmed Existence of Dark Matter, Dies At 88
Mikkeles quotes a report from CBC.ca: Vera Rubin, a pioneering astronomer who helped find powerful evidence of dark matter, has died, her son said Monday. She was 88. Vera Rubin found that galaxies don't quite rotate the way they were predicted, and that lent support to the theory that some other force was at work, namely dark matter.

She also became the second female astronomer to be elected to the National Academy of Sciences.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
