In 1932, the Dutch astronomer Jan Oort tallied the stars in the Milky Way and found that they came up limited. Judging by the way the stars bob up and down like horses on a carousel as they go all around the airplane of the galaxy, Oort calculated that there should to be twice as substantially matter gravitationally propelling them as he could see. He postulated the existence of hidden “dark matter” to make up the difference and surmised that it will have to be concentrated in a disk to describe the stars’ motions.
