Abstract
I first outline new results on the angular modulation of WIMP dark matter s cattering on targets in terrestrial laboratories, based on our uncertaintie s of the WIMP halo distribution, I then outline an exciting new result whic h indicates that for the high end of allowed SUSY WIMP scattering cross sec tions there exists a new distribution of WIMP dark matter in our solar syst em which could produce a dramatically different signal from halo WIMP dark matter in terrestrial detectors.
