A gamma ray glow at our galaxy’s center has puzzled scientists for almost two decades. New computer simulations back the ...

A new study suggests the Milky Way’s gamma-ray glow could be a dark matter signal shaped by ancient galactic mergers.

A recent astronomical observation has sparked intrigue in the scientific community. A faint glow detected in the Milky Way could potentially be a footprint of dark matter, a mysterious cosmic ...

Scientists may have made an "out of this world" discovery. New research suggests that a mysterious glow in our galaxy might be caused by dark matter, an invisible form of matter believed to be five ...

A class of University of Texas astronomy students has discovered that nearby dwarf galaxy Segue-1 seems to host a ...

Astronomers have stumbled upon yet another ghostly galaxy that appears to be devoid of dark matter. First spotted in 2024, FCC 224 is a dwarf galaxy that boasts a dozen luminous, tightly bound ...

We measure the “warmness” of the dark matter, i.e. the comoving root-mean-square thermal velocity v hrms (1) , with nearly 3000 spiral galaxy rotation curves in the ...

For over a decade, a dim but persistent glow near the center of the Milky Way has confused astronomers. This mysterious ...

New simulations suggest dark matter could explain the mysterious gamma-ray glow at the Milky Way’s center. The findings show that the galaxy’s early mergers may have shaped dark matter in a way that ...

For the past ten years, astronomers have puzzled over cosmic ripples in the structure of the Milky Way that didn't have a known cause. Thanks to a trio of pulsing stars, we now suspect a dwarf galaxy ...

Astronomers have stumbled upon yet another ghostly galaxy that appears to be devoid of dark matter. Dark matter, the invisible substance astronomers believe dominates the universe, provides the ...
