"We're not shutting anything down at this point."

"GISS [the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies] as an independent entity will not continue."

"Proposed FY 2026 cuts could end support for nearly 40 active and planned NASA science missions — many of them Earth-focused."

President Donald Trump's budget request to Congress would "wipe out years of research that helps us understand greenhouse gas emissions, plant health, and the forces that are driving climate change."

"It [the proposed budget cut] would also stunt NASA's ability to study our own planet: Earth science funding would drop by 53%."

Will Budget Cuts Force NASA To Scale Back Earth Science Missions?

Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky first proposed dark matter in the 1930s after observing galaxies moving faster than their visible mass could explain, suggesting invisible matter was holding them together through gravitational force.

University of Tokyo Professor Tomonori Totani analyzed 15 years of data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and detected gamma rays with 20 gigaelectronvolts of energy extending in a halo structure toward the Milky Way's center.

The observed gamma-ray emissions match theoretical predictions for weakly interacting massive particles annihilation, suggesting dark matter particles approximately 500 times more massive than protons.

Dark matter is theorized to comprise 27% of the universe and 85% of all matter, while ordinary matter like stars and planets accounts for only about 5% of the universe's total composition.

Scientists remain skeptical of the findings, with experts noting that gamma rays can be produced by various cosmic phenomena including pulsars, black holes, supernovae and neutron star collisions.

Independent verification and additional observations from dark matter-rich regions like dwarf galaxies will be required to confirm whether the detected gamma-ray signals truly represent direct evidence of dark matter.
