Study of wide binary stars reveals new evidence for modified gravity at low acceleration (phys.org)

A new study published in The Astrophysical Journal reveals new evidence for standard gravity breaking down in an idiosyncratic manner at low acceleration. This new study reinforces the evidence for modified gravity that was previously reported in 2023 from an analysis of the orbital motions of gravitationally bound, widely separated (or long-period) binary stars, known as wide binaries.

For those interested in MOND, Stacy McGaugh is a great proponent and researched Dark Matter extensively before switching his research into MOND. Most who are interested in MOND are fine with research into both MOND and dark matter - if there is dark matter, it will likely explain what MOND currently calculates. I'd also like to share Pavel Kroupa's blog. Be warned: he is an unapologetic and a staunch opponent to Dark Matter, but I enjoy his energy and he's a very good public speaker for cosmology and MOND.
