An abundance of mysterious gamma radiation exists in the center of the Milky Way, called the Galactic Center GeV Excess. Previous research determined that this enigmatic radiation likely came from sources like pulsars — neutron stars that emit electromagnetic radiation.
Now, a new analysis suggests earlier studies underestimated potential dark matter’s role in the creation of the gamma radiation cluster. Scientists Rebecca Leane and Tracy Slatyer reexamined the earlier research, testing the method that previously claimed the gamma ray glow was likely from pulsars.
They found that the earlier method could potentially overlook dark matter signals, misidentifying them as pulsar signals. The results suggest that dark matter may still be contributing to gamma radiation from the Milky Way’s center.

thanks for eveything.Y am not a spammer.Y LIKE YOUR INFORMATION.
Sometimes you sound like serious Scientists…and then you come out and Support Ridiculous Junk Theories like this that are only made to Support your other Ridiculous Theories like The Big Bang and Black Holes !
No wonder Science has been going backward for a century or two !
Love this anti-science types (SnaiilNailTrucker) WHO HAVE absolutely no idea what they are spewing out of their religo-fascists con mouths
Actually, what the anti-science types are spewing is that what these scientists are spewing is not real science.
