MOND predicts stellar velocities that closely match observations for an extraordinarily wide range of distances from galactic centers of mass. The 1.2 × 10 magnitude of a 0 establishes not only the distance from the center of the galaxy at which Newtonian and MOND dynamics diverge, but a 0 also establishes the angle (when not plotted with log/log scales) of the non-Newtonian linear slope on velocity/radius graphs like Fig. 1.
