Instead of a relatively distant dark galaxy, Westmeier thinks the object is more likely a regular gas cloud at the edge of the Milky Way. “I’m very skeptical about the claims that they’re ...

In particular, it provides a way to test models involving light dark matter particles, which are difficult to detect using traditional laboratory experiments. Move observations of the Milky Way could ...

But a smoothly distributed dark matter halo can. Our findings suggest that the center of the Milky Way may offer new clues about the fundamental nature of dark matter. Future telescopes with ...

"Could our galaxy one day experience similar high-energy phenomena that will have serious consequences for the survival of precious life in it?" ...
