UArizona Astrophysicists Help Chart Dark Matter s Invisible Ocean A wake of stars, created by a small galaxy set to collide with the Milky Way, is the highlight of a new map of the Milky Way s outer reaches. The observations confirm predictions made by a group of UArizona astronomers whose computer simulations test theories explaining the mysterious nature of dark matter. By Daniel Stolte, University Communications Today Images of the Milky Way and the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are overlaid on a map of the surrounding galactic halo. The smaller structure is a wake created by the LMC’s motion through this region. The larger light-blue feature corresponds to a high density of stars observed in the northern hemisphere of our galaxy.

Population growth in Northern Virginia is slowing down at an eye-opening rate, according to a new study by Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service researcher Hamilton Lombard.
According to Lombard, Northern Virginia accounted for 66.5% of the state’s population growth between 2010 and 2019, but has dipped to 33.7% within the last year.
“While Northern Virginia is still growing in population, its recent slowdown is remarkable given how long so much of Virginia’s population growth has been concentrated in Northern Virginia,” Lombard said. “Since 1980, Northern Virginia has contributed to over half of the commonwealth’s entire population growth. Earlier in the 2010s, over two-thirds of Virginia’s population growth occurred in Northern Virginia.
