Satellite galaxies provide new clues about dark matter

Scientists have narrowed down how strongly dark matter particles might interact with normal matter.

A team led by scientists from the US Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University found that, based on the number and distribution of small satellite galaxies seen orbiting our Milky Way, this interaction is at least a thousand times weaker than the strongest interaction allowed by previous astrophysical analyses.
