Measured orbital velocities for hydrogen clouds in over 60 galaxie - TopicsExpress



          

Measured orbital velocities for hydrogen clouds in over 60 galaxie and found the velocity does not decrease at large distances from the center as would be expected if the centripetal acceleration were due to the gravitational pull of luminous matter in the galaxy. These measurements are major support for the widespread belief, now based on other observations as well, that there may be large amounts of dark matter in the universe. #WomenInAstronomy
