Answer to Question 1

The farther we look from a galaxy's center, the higher mass-to-light ratios we find. In fact, this ratio grows as we go from single galaxies to clusters of galaxies. This tells us that mass is concentrated not at the centers of galaxies but in the halos of galaxies and the intergalactic medium.
