One of the most controversial astronomical paradoxes seems to be the mass paradox : the mass of large astronomical systems depends on the mass determination method. This paradox can be explained by supposing the existence of huge invisible coronas of unknown origin around galaxies. In the present paper we discuss basic empirical evidence of hidden matter in galaxies and examine the total mass distribution.
