Basically MOND says that acceleration may not be linearly proportional to force at small values. MOND can be used to predict the relationship between the mass of galaxies and their rotational velocity. This is something the competing theory of dark matter/energy can’t do accurately.
New observations have recently allowed a sample of 47 gas rich low mass galaxies to be examined. The relationship between mass and rotation velocity was checked. All 47 galaxies fell at or very near the MOND prediction. Dark matter models didn’t fare nearly as well.

When i first heard of darkmatter, I was like "You have to be shitting me..its some kind of mistake"
Well, they did find some evidence for it, but then again, this article doesnt bode well for darkmatter.
Dont expect dark matter to disapear anytime soon, pardon the pun..
We need more information.
