Dark matter is only acted upon by the force of gravity according to new research, which constrains the potential range of mass for the elusive particles. Plus, how precipitation affects the Earth’s crust, a pair of ancient asteroid impacts in Germany, NASA’s Day of Remembrance, and this week’s What’s Up.
