New research suggests that they could hold giant "dark stars," or invisible clumps of matter. Most of the mass in any galaxy is invisible, so astronomers do not yet know the identity of the dark ...

Using cutting-edge 3D galaxy maps and an innovative approach called field-level inference (FLI), researchers are uncovering the intricate patterns of dark matter that govern the formation and ...

There's a new twist in the hunt for dark matter, the invisible substance ... a mysterious phenomenon at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, in a region called the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ).

A mysterious phenomenon at the center of our galaxy could be the result of a different type of dark matter. Dark matter, the mysterious form of unobserved matter which could make up 85% of the ...

"The energy signatures radiating from this part of our galaxy suggest that there is a constant, roiling source of energy doing just that," Balaji added, "and our data says it might come from a much ...
