Astronomers Search for Dark Matter Annihilation at the Center of the Earth
If dark matter is made of heavy particles, they could become captured by the gravitational field of massive objects like stars or planets. Constrained in a small area, these particles could crash into one another and annihilate with radiation. Astronomers have searched through 10 years of data captured by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole for any evidence of this dark matter annihilation. Although they didn't detect any evidence, the next generation IceCube Update will significantly improve the search.
