Be careful out there, astronomers: There could be a dark galaxy in our midst. In research published today in Science Advances, researchers from the Chinese National Academy of Sciences discovered that ...

Astronomers have stumbled upon yet another ghostly galaxy that appears to be devoid of dark matter. Dark matter, the invisible substance astronomers believe dominates the universe, provides the ...

Astronomers have identified a new ultra-diffuse galaxy that appears to defy one of the fundamental assumptions of modern cosmology: the presence of dark matter. The galaxy, dubbed FCC 224, lies at the ...

A potential dark galaxy — one made primarily of dark matter — may have been spotted in the local universe. Dark galaxies are theoretical, starless systems whose discovery could help astronomers better ...

A fuzzy form of dark matter may clump up to become the cores of galaxies, according to new research. The traditional dark matter hypothesis, that it's some form of cold, massive particle that hardly ...

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 ...

A mysterious phenomenon at the center of our galaxy could be the result of a different type of dark matter. A mysterious phenomenon at the centre of our galaxy could be the result of a different type ...

The Anglo-USA team behind the study named them dark dwarfs. Not because they are dark bodies—on the contrary—but because of their special link with dark matter, one of the most central topics in ...

Astronomers have stumbled upon yet another ghostly galaxy that appears to be devoid of dark matter. First spotted in 2024, FCC 224 is a dwarf galaxy that boasts a dozen luminous, tightly bound ...

Researchers have identified a high-velocity cloud (HVC) component, designated AC G185.0-11.5, within the AC-I Complex near the Milky Way, exhibiting rotational characteristics consistent with a ...

"No existing galaxy formation model within our standard cosmological paradigm can currently explain how this galaxy came to be." Astronomers have stumbled upon yet another ghostly galaxy that appears ...
