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

According to the model, dark matter may have started as particles that were hot, light, massless, and fast. As the universe cooled, these particles became heavy, slow, and dark, becoming an invisible ...

Despite it’s comparative size to our star, it’s still the least massive object ever detected using gravitational lensing.
