Milky Way May Have Dark Matter Satellite Galaxies

rubycodez writes "Berkeley astronomer Sukanya Chakrabarti has detected perturbations in the gases surrounding our Milky Way and concludes there is a satellite 'Galaxy X' 250,000 light years away that is mostly dark matter, but that may contain dwarf stars visible in infrared. She expects many more such dark matter satellites to the Milky Way to be discovered using her technique."

This sounds like a sci-fi blockbuster

I prefer my women like dark matter: attractive, hard to catch, dark, and mysterious.

parallel universe where "people" live lives like ours, as unaware of us as we are of them. All undetectable, except by their gravitational attraction on us.

Are you talking about women? I've actually seen them. No joke!
