Dark Matter's Role in Shaping the Milky Way: New Insights from Harvard Researchers
The Milky Way, our home galaxy, has long been depicted as a flat, spinning disk of dust, gas, and stars. However, recent findings by astronomers from the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard and Smithsonian (CfA) have shed light on its distinctive warped shape, suggesting that this warp may be due to an irregular halo of dark matter surrounding the galaxy.
