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

At the heart of the Milky Way, a faint and widespread glow of gamma rays has puzzled astronomers for decades. The light could ...

Dark matter has two central properties: it has mass like regular matter, and unlike regular matter, it reacts weakly or not at all with light. Neutrinos satisfy these two criteria, but neutrinos move ...

An excess of gamma rays in the center of our galaxy could mean scientists have finally detected dark matter particles—or not ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins may be closing in on dark matter’s elusive trail, uncovering a mysterious gamma ray glow at the ...

A gamma ray glow at our galaxy’s center has puzzled scientists for almost two decades. New computer simulations back the ...

For over a decade, a dim but persistent glow near the center of the Milky Way has confused astronomers. This mysterious ...

Webb Telescope detected a possible direct collapse black hole between two merging galaxies called the "Infinity Galaxy." ...

Three enormous and peculiar radio light rings were discovered far, far outside our own galaxy, shedding more light on one of ...

The study notes that if excess gamma light is not from dying stars, it could become the first proof that dark matter exists.

Astronomers have witnessed something that no one believed possible: a black hole ripping apart a star not at the center of a ...

What does it look like when galaxies collide? The Hubble Telescope captured a unique sight as two galaxies are in the process of merging. NASA says the galaxy, called NGC 1614, is about 200 million ...
