Like, if you can kind of compare it to our galaxy and things maybe around it, when we're talking about these relics, how big are they?

And Deep, I think this is a good time to, like, take a step back for people, you know, who aren't astronomers.

How do galaxies form?

Like, what is the consensus, you know, in the astronomy community?

And Andy, before this discovery, there was that gap in the theory, right?

We hadn't seen any of these dark matter halos this size.

I remember there might have been other candidates.

So have there been other possibilities before you found this dark matter halo?

So, Deep, what does this discovery mean?

Now we've finally filled in this gap of theory.

What does this mean for theory?

What does this mean for astronomy going forward?

Yeah, Andy, do you have anything to add to that?

Because this is a big deal.

We might be able to find what dark matter is?

Yeah, Andy, Deep, thank you so much for talking to me about Cloud9.
