Physicists have unveiled a new way to simulate a mysterious form of dark matter that can collide with itself but not with ...

The Milky Way is often depicted as a flat, spinning disk of dust, gas, and stars. But if you could zoom out and take an edge-on photo, it actually has a distinctive warp — as if you tried to twist and ...

Cloud-9 entered the picture in 2023, when astronomers using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) in China detected an unusual cloud of neutral hydrogen near the spiral galaxy ...

For nearly a century, something unseen has tugged at the cosmos. In the 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky noticed galaxies in the Coma Cluster moving as if they carried far more mass than ...

A research team led by Dr. HUANG Yang from the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) pioneered the "motion picture" method for measuring the precession rate of ...

For nearly a century, scientists have been searching for direct evidence of dark matter—one of the key missing pieces of our theoretical understanding of the universe. While we have glimpsed the ...

NASA’s Hubble has examined Cloud-9, a strange object with no stars that offers clues about early galaxy formation and dark ...

The presence of an invisible “dark matter” holding the galaxies together was proposed in the early 1930s by Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky. Now, 100 years later, NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope ...

For nearly a century, scientists have been searching for dark matter — the fundamental, invisible substance believed to make up most of the cosmos. After nine decades of sustained effort, a new study ...

If proven to be correct, then the observations could rule out types of "warm" dark matter. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The ...
