(CNN) Vera Rubin, a pioneering astrophysicist who proved the existence of dark matter, had a gift for overcoming daunting challenges. While there were indications going back to the 1930s that dark matter existed, her work confirmed it. If dark matter doesn`t fit that description, I don`t know what does. Her colleagues and those who admired her spirit remember her as someone who revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos by confirming the existence of dark matter, invisible material that comprises more than 90% of the universe. Others worked on the subject of dark matter, and it`s important to remember that in science, each person`s achievements are built on the backs of those who came before.
