Giant Balloon Telescope Captures Stunning Images with Help from Scientists.

TL;DR
British scientists have launched a £4.1 million balloon-borne telescope, SuperBIT, from New Zealand to investigate the mystery of dark matter. The telescope has already captured mesmerizing images of the Antennae Galaxies and the Tarantula Nebula. SuperBIT aims to measure the properties of dark matter and map out the matter around galaxy clusters by measuring the way it warps the space around them. The telescope has a wider field of view than Hubble and costs 1,000 times less than an equivalent satellite.
