    I review constraints on solar system-bound dark matter, and discuss the possibility that dark matter could be gravitationally bound to the earth and other planets. I briefly survey various empirical constraints on such planet-bound dark matter, and discuss effects it could produce if present, including anomalous planetary heating and flyby velocity changes.

    One method to search for particle dark matter is to hunt down its annihilation products. A goal of the next generation of neutrino telescopes is to find, or better constrain, dark matter by looking for a neutrino flux from dark matter annihilation in the Sun and the Earth. Signals from both sources depend not only on the details of the dark matter model, but on the dynamics of dark matter...

    The highly radiopure DAMA/LIBRA set-up (about 250 kg highly radiopure NaI(Tl) sensitive mass) is running at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory of the I.N.F.N..The presented results have been obtained - with an exposure of 0.53 ton x yr - by exploiting the model independent annual modulation signature for Dark Matter particles in the galactic halo. The DAMA/LIBRA data confirm the evidence...

    Recent results from direct and indirect detection of dark matter experiments may be giving early clues to the nature of the dark matter. I review these results and discuss the implications for models of electroweak scale dark matter.
