India’s astronomers, from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), made a significant breakthrough by identifying the cause behind the strange lack of dark matter in the galaxy NGC 1052-DF2. This galaxy is unique because it contradicts the standard understanding that dark matter is essential for galaxy formation. The Indian researchers built detailed models to study this phenomenon and discovered that the galaxy’s mass is mostly from stars, not dark matter. Their findings not only question the traditional models of galaxy formation but also open up new areas of research into the very nature of dark matter itself.
