An international research collaboration has used advanced computer simulations to investigate how faint radio signals from ...

When Rutgers theoretical astrophysicist Charles Keeton first saw an unusual picture shared by his colleague, he was intrigued ...

When gravity—an invisible yet ubiquitous force—bends and distorts light from distant galaxies, Earthbound observers get a ...

A swarm of galaxies called the Bullet Cluster is the biggest, best natural laboratory for studying dark matter that ...

For centuries, scientists have puzzled over globular clusters, the dense star systems that orbit galaxies without dark matter ...

For all our telescopes and colliders, dark matter has remained an elusive ghost for the better part of a century. It ...

For astronomers studying dark matter, the Bullet Cluster is one of the greatest laboratories in the universe. Follow-up ...

New research shows how faint radio signals from the early Universe, soon to be detected by Moon missions, could reveal dark ...

"This black hole could then grow and consume the entire planet, turning it into a black hole with the same mass as the ...

A team of international astronomers have identified a cosmic oddity unlike anything seen before: a galaxy bent by gravity into an Einstein Cross with not four but five distinct images.

This new theory proposes that black holes could actually be tiny "bubbles". This involves the conversion of matter into dark ...
