Gamma rays may betray clumps of dark matter - New Scientist - New Scientist

Gamma rays may betray clumps of dark matter - New Scientist - New Scientist - "Their model shows that the Milky Way should be littered with small clumps of dark matter, each about the size of our solar system. These would have been the first structures that formed in the universe. Earlier studies had suggested that the gravity of nearby stars would have ripped apart these primordial clumps, but the new simulations show that this would only happen in the crowded core of galaxies, leaving the clumps in the galactic suburbs intact"
