A team of scientists
from Japan initiate new, more accurate measurements of the distance from the
solar system to the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, which was found to be
26,100 light-years, and the rate of rotation of our galaxy near our solar system,
which was found to be 240 km / s. Previous data on the speed of our galaxy is
220 km / s, which means that the mass of our galaxy - and especially the
contribution, made by dark matter - about 20% higher than previously thought.
