I expect to have eight more before all's good said and done. Nearly thirty-two years total, and that's not too shabby

When we look at the universe, what we see by eye or with our telescopes is only five percent of the universe. The rest, 95 percent is dark. Dark meaning, first of all, not visible to our instrument.
