Answer to Question 1

When we use the Keplerian equation to determine the mass of the Galaxy, we find a value of 100 billion Suns inside the Sun's orbital radius, or about 200 billion Suns all the way out to the end of the visible part of the spiral arms and halo stars. However, when we look the rotation curve, we find objects distant from the center rotating much faster than expected. To account for this, significantly more mass must exist outside the visible portion of our galaxy that we cannot see.

Answer to Question 2

E
