000007502 520__ $$aThis is not a Brussels folk festival, but a scientific research project. OMMEGANG, an acronym for ‘Observing dark Matter and MEteoroids with Gravimeters ANd GNSS’, is aimed at detecting mini black holes passing close to the Earth using data from GNSS positioning satellites (including the GPS and GALILEO systems) and superconducting gravimeters. These mini black holes could partly explain the enigma of dark matter in the universe. Scientists from the Royal Observatory of Belgium (ROB) and the ULB are involved in this project, which brings together ROB’s expertise in GNSS and gravity measurements and ULB’s expertise in dark matter models and primordial black holes.
