Hey does anyone know for sure if MACHO is a backronym? That is, the abbreviation (MACHO) was created before the definition (Massive compact halo object). I just listed it on the apronym page and I have a sneaking suspicion that it's also a backronym too. See the backronym and apronym pages to see what I'm talking about. -Hyad 07:15, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

I'm concerned about the lack of citations in this article. The article mentions groups, but neither names them, nor cites their papers. Rocklaura 03:21, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
