Carlos Frenk commented on the implications of finding the predicted faint satellite galaxies for LCDM theory.

“Using the laws of physics, solved using a large supercomputer, and mathematical modelling we can make precise predictions that astronomers, equipped with new, powerful telescopes, can test. It doesn’t get much better than this.”
