Hubble Telescope Maps Dark Matter by Tracking Dwarf Galaxy Stars

The Hubble Space Telescope has recently provided critical insights into dark matter’s distribution within a nearby dwarf galaxy, offering strong support for the Standard Model of cosmology. This model predicts that it is predominantly “cold,” meaning it consists of low-energy particles that move slowly and cluster together to form large halos where galaxies develop. This contrasts with emerging theories suggesting it might be “warm,” or have higher energy, causing it to spread more evenly. What is Dark Matter? Dark matter,
