Mysterious glow in our galaxy may be coming from dark matter

At the center of our galaxy, there’s a mysterious, diffuse [glow](https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11342/) given off by gamma rays — powerful radiation usually emitted by high-energy objects such as rapidly rotating or exploding stars.

NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope detected the glow shortly after launching in 2008, and the light has puzzled scientists ever since, prompting speculation on its cause. Now, new simulations made using supercomputers show for the first time that dark matter collisions could also have created the bulge-shaped glow, adding weight to the dark matter theory.

Dark Matter is treated like God in the media. Something in the space that cannot be explained with current data, must be dark matter!!

That’s why I love dark matter man, we keep gathering new data, Dark matter remains elusive.
