Re: This Week's Finds in Mathematical Physics (Week 238)

some quotes:

So, dark matter is seeming more and more real. In fact, last year
folks found evidence for "ghost galaxies" made mainly of dark matter
and cold hydrogen, with very few stars:

http://www.interactions.org/cms/?pid=1023641

Apparently the consensus is now that this ghost, VIRGOHI 21,
is hydrogen stripped off from a galaxy by the "wind" it felt
as it fell into the Virgo Cluster. This effect is called
"ram pressure stripping" - the gas of a galaxy can be stripped
off if the galaxy is moving rapidly through a cluster, due
to interaction with the gas in the cluster.

Do any of these observations provide any evidence that may discard the
MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics) hypothesis?
