Brown says that the movements of these stars could reveal the shape of the dark
matter halo around our galaxy.
That's a simulated map of the dark
matter halo around galaxy cluster Cl 0024 +17, superimposed on a Hubble picture.

Faced with flat rotation curves that seemed to flout Newton's laws, astronomers assumed the existence of a
halo of dark
matter around every spiral galaxy.
One theory is that this missing
matter hides in a
halo of hot gas
around each galaxy.
In clusters, too, dark
matter seems to form a massive
halo around the bright parts.
Among other sources of such radiation, scientists have proposed that interactions between bits of dark
matter (which make up a large fraction of the universe's mass but haven't yet been directly detected) in a
halo around the galactic center may be creating the surplus gamma rays.
They argue that the brown dwarfs are in fact members of a much smaller spherical distribution of
matter around the centre of the Galaxy, which they call the spheroid in order to avoid confusion with the extended dark
halo.
Astronomers have noted that invisible
matter seems to cluster
around galaxies, forming a spherical
halo stretching up to 10 times the diameter of the visible galaxy.
The gravitational influence of this mass will appear similar to extended «dark
matter haloes»
around galaxies.
This dark
matter, which must be distributed in a spherical «
halo»
around the luminous disc of a galaxy, would have to contain about ten times as much mass as the visible material.
Astronomers using ESA's XMM - Newton space observatory have probed the gas - filled
haloes around galaxies in a quest to find «missing»
matter thought to reside there, but have come up empty - handed — so where is it?

Dark
matter resides in the
halos around those galaxies, and was also known to spread from those denser areas in filaments.
Some are found in globular clusters, but most move in a huge cloud
around the disk called the galactic
halo, which has a luminous inner component defined by globular star clusters and other easily observable stars (with coronae of hot gas possibly expelled by supernovae and of high - velocity neutron stars) and an outer dark -
matter component inferred from its gravitational impact on the Milky Way's spiral disk.
Fair, My Wii was hacked to shit until i converted my stuff to the Wii - U, haven't gotten
around to hacking it yet but now that it's obsolete it's only a
matter of time haha yeah i was a Sony guy right up to PS2, (never owned a regular Xbox because aside from Fable and the old
Halo's Xbox sucked balls) but when PS3 came out it was heavily lacking games i cared about and any FF game that came out at the time was going to Xbox 360 so i stuck to that, plus all of my friends had a 360 and played
Halo and Gears and what ever was out at the time.
