Galactic Gamma Ray Mystery Nears Solution as Dark Matter Distribution Revealed

Scientists have uncovered a crucial clue in the decades-long mystery surrounding the Milky Way’s unexplained gamma ray emissions. High-resolution simulations reveal dark matter in our galaxy is distributed differently than previously assumed, potentially confirming dark matter annihilation as the source.

Breakthrough in Galactic Gamma Ray Mystery

Astronomers may be closer to solving one of the most persistent mysteries in astrophysics—the unexplained excess of gamma rays emanating from the Milky Way’s center. According to new research published in Physical Review Letters, the spatial distribution of dark matter differs significantly from previous models, potentially confirming it as the source of these mysterious emissions.
