Mysterious Glow in Milky Way Could Be Evidence of Dark Matter
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University may have found a clue to prove the existence of dark matter.
A diffuse glow of gamma rays near the center of the Milky Way has puzzled researchers for decades. Theories suggest it could be from colliding particles of dark matter or quickly spinning neutron stars.
If excess gamma light is not from dying stars, it could become the first proof that dark matter exists.
New simulations show that both theories are equally likely, according to research published in the journal Physical Review Letters.
