Heart of the Milky Way May Host a New Form of Dark Matter

Mysterious phenomenon at center of galaxy could reveal new kind of dark matter
A mysterious phenomenon at the center of our galaxy could be the result of a different type of dark matter. Dark matter, the mysterious form of unobserved matter which could make up 85% of the mass of the known universe,
Strange signals detected from Milky Way’s heart may reveal a new dark matter type
A new study suggests that dark matter could be shaping cosmic chemistry, with a proposed self-annihilating dark matter candidate potentially responsible for ionisation in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone.
Mysterious phenomenon at the heart of the Milky Way could point to new dark matter suspect. 'We may have been overlooking its subtle chemical effects on the cosmos.'
Strange events at the heart of the Milky Way could point toward a new dark suspect that annihilates to influence the chemistry of the cosmos.
The Heart of the Milky Way May Host a New Form of Dark Matter
In the ongoing quest to understand dark matter, researchers are now wondering if a strange phenomenon occurring at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy could be from a different form of dark matter. Dark matter is a mysterious substance that could make up 85 percent of the Universe's mass,
