Dark matter doesn’t emit, absorb, or reflect light. It’s invisible but supposedly makes up 85% of the universe’s mass.

An exotic type of dark matter could explain some of the characteristics of our galaxy’s central supermassive black hole, but ...

Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered what seems to be a galaxy that is the most heavily dominated by ...

A study published in Nature Astronomy has found a nearly 3-sigma statistical preference for non-zero interactions between ...

You know that feeling when you find something hiding right where you've been looking all along? Astronomers just had that moment on a cosmic scale. A galaxy so faint, so nearly invisible that no one ...

Dark matter is so pervasive throughout galaxies that its presence explains the stability and motion of stars in systems such as the Milky Way. For example, current models indicate that our galaxy is ...

Astronomers discover galaxy CDG-2 that's 99% dark matter using Hubble, Euclid, and Subaru telescopes working together to detect this cosmic ghost 300 million light-years away.

According to researchers, approximately 99 percent of this galaxy's total mass is dark matter.

First and perhaps most perplexingly, researchers remain unsure about what exactly dark matter is. Originally, some scientists conjectured that the missing mass in the universe was made up of small ...

But new research has found the strongest candidate yet. The first author is Dayi (David) Li, a post-doctoral fellow in ...
