Stargazers in Essex see mysterious gamma-ray glow at Milky Way's center, possibly from dark matter or neutron stars.

Stargazers in Essex can observe a mysterious gamma-ray glow at the center of the Milky Way, possibly linked to dark matter or spinning neutron stars. Scientists are using supercomputers to map dark matter and planning experiments to analyze gamma-ray energy levels, aiming to identify the glow’s source. If connected to dark matter, it could provide the first direct evidence of this invisible substance. Free public stargazing events are scheduled for October 25 and November 29 at Great Notley Country Park, where attendees can view Saturn and the night sky. New telescope arrays in the Canary Islands and Chile will continue to study the phenomenon.
