Dark matter is a mysterious substance that we can't see, but its gravitational effects are evident in how galaxies rotate and cluster. Dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy that's thought to be responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe. Together, they make up about 95% of the universe's mass-energy content, with ordinary matter comprising only about 5%.

Astronomers use several methods. The most common are the transit method (observing a dip in a star's brightness as a planet passes in front of it) and the radial velocity method (detecting wobbles in a star's motion caused by a planet's gravitational pull). Other methods include direct imaging and gravitational microlensing. Each method has its strengths and is suited for different types of exoplanets.

The future is incredibly exciting! We're seeing a surge in both government-led missions (like NASA's Artemis program aiming for the Moon and Mars) and private sector initiatives (e.g., SpaceX, Blue Origin). Key areas of focus include establishing sustained human presence on the Moon, crewed missions to Mars, asteroid mining, and the search for life beyond Earth, potentially on ocean worlds like Europa and Titan.
