When the name of Wukong is mentioned in China, the first thing comes to people's mind is that famous Monkey King in Chinese classical novel Journey to the West, who destroyed demons and wiped out evils with his super natural powers. Not long ago, Chinese Academy of Science announced that China's dark matter particle explorer satellite Wukong, named after the famous Monkey King, had spotted some traces of suspicious dark matter particles, a significant finding more than 700 days after the satellite's initial liftoff. This represents a substantial breakthrough in scientists' efforts to explore dark matter.
