I like the cake diagrams there, they are really helpful, explaining what the dark matter part of ordinary matter really is. Not Dark Matter.
How can it contain 10 times the mass of the Milkyway, without parts of it collapsing into visible stars? Yes it has a big volume, but certainly the gas isn’t uniform?
