The Milky Way Is Missing Satellite Galaxies

The video discusses the presence of satellite galaxies around the Milky Way and the missing satellite problem, where fewer satellites are observed than predicted by simulations. It explores the role of dark matter and computer simulations in understanding this discrepancy. The video also highlights ongoing research and future projects, such as more powerful telescopes and advanced simulations, to address these challenges and improve our understanding of galaxy formation.
