Nobody will read this comment since this thread is long dead. But the website I mentioned earlier (Comment 2) has a follow up article on this story. It seems that the audacious claims made about the paucity of dark matter near our solar system's region of space are illfounded - as in literally founded on false assumptions.
Of course, the unaudacious claim that the audacious claim is probably incorrect won't make the headlines.
