New gamma-ray signal from the Milky Way's center may reveal dark matter

fr.de (German)

An unusual gamma-ray pattern detected at the Milky Way's center could be the first evidence of dark matter. The signal, a peak around 20 GeV, originates from NASA's Fermi telescope data and exhibits a spherical distribution consistent with dark matter halos. This specific energy signature is unlike typical astrophysical sources. While promising, the finding requires independent confirmation and further study to rule out interference from known celestial objects in the complex galactic center.
