Scaffolding
Weak gravitational lensing: invisible dark matter revealed through coherent galaxy shapes. Based on Scognamiglio et al.

(Science, 2026), who measured a rogue planet's mass for the first time using stereoscopic parallax between Earth and the Gaia spacecraft. A Saturn-mass world, ejected from its birth system, wandering alone 10,000 light-years away — detected only by the light it bends.
