An international research collaboration has used advanced computer simulations to investigate how faint radio signals from the early universe, soon to be observed from missions on the far side of the ...

Galaxies are far more than the sum of their stars. Long before stars even formed, dark matter clumped up and drew regular matter together with its gravity, providing the invisible scaffolding upon ...

Dark energy is responsible for the expansion of the Universe, but its true nature is still a subject of much debate. Computer simulations based on the latest astronomical data enable scientists to ...

Dark matter is a difficult subject because, on the one hand, we don’t really know if it even exists at all. On the other hand, many models of the universe rely on it to work. So, when a theory comes ...

Dark matter remains one of the most compelling enigmas in modern cosmology. Although it does not emit light, its gravitational influence is essential for the formation and evolution of cosmic ...

Analysis of the Bullet Cluster, which was formed after two large clusters of galaxies collided, supports the existence of dark matter. X-ray: NASA / CXC / CfA / M. Markevitch et al.; Optical: NASA / ...

Stars close to the centre of our galaxy may be nearly immortal because they gobble up dark matter for energy. More than two decades ago, astronomers noticed something odd about the stars near the ...

Giant worlds beyond the Solar System could be the probe we need to figure out how dark matter manifests in the Universe. According to a new study, one particular dark matter model could see the ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The Galactic Center Excess, shines in high-energy gamma rays that can’t be explained by ordinary astrophysical processes. Its ...

In this visualization, each dot represents a gas parcel with a mass approximately 1,000 times that of the Sun in the simulation of the cosmic Dark Ages. The left and right panels compare the cold and ...

This is interesting of course, but the article suffers from problems. Besides the missing article link, the linked spiral arm dynamical mass excess observations are not explained by dark matter as it ...

Faint radio signals from the early Universe, soon detectable by Moon missions, may reveal how dark matter shaped gas cooling and clumping in the cosmic Dark Ages. Ordinary matter, which makes up the ...
