Recent studies challenge the long-held belief that the Milky Way is a standard model for understanding galaxy formation, revealing unique differences in its structure and evolution compared to its galactic peers.

The SAGA Survey has begun to uncover these discrepancies by studying over 100 Milky Way-like galaxies, shedding light on the complex role of dark matter and the diverse evolutionary paths of galaxies.

“No one knows what dark matter is made of,” Wechsler said. “It doesn’t interact with ordinary matter or light. There’s probably dark matter running through you right now and you don’t even know it.”

Far out, man.
