Flattened Dark Matter May Explain Mysterious Gamma-Ray Glow at Milky Way’s Core, Study Finds

Dark matter near the Milky Way’s center appears flattened, not spherical, according to new simulations. The discovery may explain a puzzling gamma-ray glow long observed by NASA’s Fermi telescope, reigniting theories that dark matter collisions produce high-energy radiation in the galaxy’s coreDark matter near the Milky Way’s center appears flattened, not spherical, according to new simulations.
