Deepwater6 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) http://www.space.com/17734-milky-way-galaxy-giant-gas-halo.html Even with it's low density I'm surprised we have not detected this halo around other galaxies. We have taken so many shots, so many different ways of other galaxies you would think we would have detected it by now on some level. Either way if they confirm it and find Baryons it would be a great find and another clue to the formation of the universe.

Eclogite Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 My immediate thought is the impact this may have on need for dark matter. Probably minor, though I'm disappointed that the discussion in the press release didn't even take the trouble to dismiss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
