At the centre of spiral galaxies – those near to us but also those billions of light-years away – there is a vast spherical region made up of dark matter particles. This region has two defining ...

A mysterious glow at the center of the Milky Way has puzzled astronomers for more than a decade. New research offers an ...

If dark matter truly behaves as a superfluid filled with quantized vortices, it could revolutionize both cosmology and particle physics. Such a model naturally explains how galaxies can rotate ...

Give them a constellation prize. A group of international scientists discovered three ultra-massive “Red Monster” galaxies capable of forming their own stars faster than the average nebula. The ...

The century-old mystery of dark matter — the invisible glue thought to hold galaxies together — just got a modern clue.

Cosmic cartographer Brent Tully was inspecting his team’s latest high-precision maps of the positions and motions of 56,000 galaxies in the local universe when he noticed a colossal ringlike structure ...

Data collected by the Arecibo Radio Telescope before it collapsed late last year will help astronomers better understand how our local neighbourhood of galaxies formed. Arecibo was the world’s largest ...

New research shows that dark matter has a different distribution in our galaxy than previously thought, and that advances dark matter's status as a potential source of the observed gamma ray excess in ...

A new NASA space observatory is scheduled to launch into orbit this week on a lofty mission to map more than 450 million galaxies. The SPHEREx mission (short for Spectro-Photometer for the History of ...
