Dark Halo Around Our Galaxy Looks Like Squished Beach Ball
Of course, not mentioned in the article is the fact that this shape of
"dark matter halo" matches the configuration one might see with MOND. Yousuf Khan +++ SPACE.com -- Dark Halo Around Our Galaxy Looks Like Squished Beach Ball "But the new study found that the Milky Way's halo isn't exactly spherical, but squished. In fact, its beach-ball form is flattened in a surprising direction — perpendicular to the galaxy's visible, pancake-shaped spiral disk." http://www.space.com/scienceastronom...milky-way.html
