Astronomers Disprove Long-Held Theory on Dark Matter and Stars
New research using advanced models reveals that the perceived uniform density in galaxies is due to oversimplified measurements.
- The study used data from the Very Large Telescope to examine 22 massive galaxies in detail.
- Researchers found no significant correlation between visible and dark matter distributions.
- Previous models were too simplified, leading to incorrect assumptions about galactic structures.
- The findings challenge existing theories on galaxy formation and evolution.
- This research underscores the complexity and diversity of galactic mass distributions.
