Can someone explain like I'm 30 something and have no clue what any of that means?
10The Milky Way is spinning. It's spinning wrong based on the stuff we see. So, scientists think there must be stuff we can't see making it spin that way. Some scientists have drawn a picture of what it would look like if we could see the stuff.
