Could the Sun have a Core of Dark Matter?

July 24th, 2010 admin


080616-hinode-sun-hmed.widec Dark matter has become trapped at the center of the sun and is cooling down its core temperature according to a new study by Dr Stephen West from the Department of Physics at Royal , University of London. 

“Dark matter makes up more than 80 per cent of the total mass of the universe. We know that dark matter exists, but to date it has never been produced in a laboratory or directly observed in any experiment, as a result we have very little information about what it actually is. It is important that we examine all possible ways of probing the nature of dark matter and the sun could provide us with an unexpected laboratory in which to do this,” says Dr West.
