Learn how through a process known as molecular hydrogen cooling, stars may be able to form in dark matter halos under 10 ...

After 11 years mapping the Milky Way, the European Space Agency's Gaia space telescope has retired. Scientists hailed it as ...

Dark matter could be an entire dark sector of the universe, with its own particles and forces H ave you ever stood by the sea ...

"Could our galaxy one day experience similar high-energy phenomena that will have serious consequences for the survival of ...

A new study suggests that clues about dark matter may be hidden in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone, a large area of hydrogen molecules surrounding the centre of our galaxy. Dark matter ...

A team of researchers has proposed a new lead: a lightweight form of dark matter capable of self-annihilating and releasing charged particles. These particles would ionize the gas present in the ...

In the ongoing quest to understand dark matter, researchers are now wondering if a strange phenomenon occurring at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy could be from a different form of dark matter. Dark ...

Astronomers have uncovered a spiral galaxy nearly a billion light-years away that hosts a supermassive black hole launching ...

It drives the movements of stars and galaxies, but dark matter is invisible. While it remains a colossal mystery, a study ...

Researchers at King's College London have discovered positively charged hydrogen clouds in the Milky Way's center, suggesting a lighter form of dark matter may be at play. Their findings challenge ...

In this first of its kind study, scientists have taken a step closer to understanding the elusive mystery matter. They believe a reimagined candidate for dark matter could be behind unexplained ...

self-annihilating dark matter candidate. When two particles meet, they destroy each other. This process releases electrons and positrons, which ionise gas clouds. The Milky Way’s Central ...
