This animation shows a supercomputer simulation of a galaxy like the Milky Way and its invisible dark matter halo. We zoom in to the galaxy and can see knots of dark matter where we would expect to see many satellite galaxies, but they dont exist in the real Universe. Thats the missing satellite problem.

Space Ping!
If you didn’t know how much there was in the first place, how would you know half of it was missing?.............

Are they going to now have to doublecheck ALL their findings using common core math?

I like dark chocolate but not Milky Way. Snickers is better.

Aahh man... I was hoping to get a ton of this Unobtainium to play with on my forge this weekend...

Isaac Newton explained how gravity works, more or less (some corrections by Albert Einstein). But I don't think he explained why there is gravity to begin with.
OK, so every particle of matter attracts every other particle of matter. But why? Why doesn't matter just mind its own business and not bother any other bits of matter? Cosmic busybodies. Matter must be "Progressive."
And why does light keep traveling for billions of years? Don't the light beams ever get tired?
To: Dead Corpse
Unobtainium can be had by the shipload.
All you have to do is get to the nearest Pulsar and back...............

I’m offended.
How will I ever get my fair share of dark matter now?
This sucks, it’s completely unfair.
Think I’ll take down the convenience store down the block. I’ll wait til it’s dark. They can suck on their dark matter. Yeah.

I don’t own a ship. Ergo, I don’t need an entire shipload of it.
Just wanted to see if I could hammer it into a decent set of mitten gauntlets and a set of pauldrons.

Describing the effects of Gravity is not the same as knowing what it is.

Gravity is just the label we put on something that we don’t know how it works but know that it does.
Mass depresses the fabric of space-time, creating a ‘gravity well’, or so they tell us. Every bit of mass depresses it to some extent.
If you had a universe where only two atoms of hydrogen existed, and they were a billion light years apart, they would eventually collide or settle into a stable orbit around a central point............

They probed the edge of the Milky Way, looking closely, for the first time, at the fringes of the galaxy about 5 million billion kilometers from Earth They probably haven't factored in that Negative Energy barrier ....
