Galactic Center Gamma-Ray Mystery Deepens as Dark Matter Hypothesis Gains Ground
A puzzling gamma-ray excess at the Milky Way’s center continues to baffle scientists, with new simulations showing dark matter destruction remains a viable explanation. The research indicates both dark matter particles and rapidly spinning neutron stars could produce the observed signal, potentially bringing scientists closer to solving one of astronomy’s greatest mysteries.
Cosmic Conundrum at Galactic Core
A mysterious gamma-ray glow emanating from the heart of our galaxy could represent one of astronomy’s most significant discoveries—potential evidence of dark matter particles destroying each other—according to new research. The Galactic Center GeV Excess (GCE), first detected in 2009, has long puzzled scientists seeking to identify its source.
