Показать описание
New observations from ESO's Very Large Telescope have revealed that the outer parts of massive disc galaxies 10 billion years ago were rotating less quickly than the spiral galaxies, like the Milky Way, that we see today. This ESOcast Light summarises the important points of this discovery and the significance of dark matter, and how it is distributed.

The video is available in 4K UHD.

The ESOcast Light is a series of short videos bringing you the wonders of the Universe in bite-sized pieces. The ESOcast Light episodes will not be replacing the standard, longer ESOcasts, but complement them with current astronomy news and images in ESO press releases.

As the galaxy coalesces it displaces the superfluid dark matter which fills 'empty' space. The displaced superfluid dark matter pushes back, causing the galaxy to speed up, which further displaces the superfluid dark matter. This process continues until we arrive at the speed at which galaxies rotate today.

So this answers the age old question on whether galaxies cause dark-matter-blops or whether dark-matter-blops cause galaxies.
