Brown dwarfs are too small to sustain the nuclear fusion that powers most stars, so they cool and fade over time. But if they ...

"Dark matter could be captured by stars and accumulate inside them. If that happens, it might also interact with itself and ...

A new kind of cosmic object could help solve one of the universe's greatest mysteries: dark matter.Particle Astrophysicists have proposed the ...

Dark matter is one of Nature’s most confounding mysteries. It keeps particle physicists up at night and cosmologists glued to their supercomputer simulations. We know it’s real because its mass ...

Dark dwarfs, stars composed of dark matter, may be the optimal objects in which to finally discover physical dark matter in the real world.

Dark dwarfs, celestial objects potentially hidden in our galaxy's center, may provide crucial insights into the enigmatic ...

Are we living in a cosmic void? New theory suggests our galaxy sits in a giant hole warping the universe's expansion.

A USC-led research team has created a series of supercomputer-simulated twins of our Milky Way galaxy—which could help scientists unlock new answers about one of the biggest mysteries in the ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...

The Andromeda galaxy is also known as Messier 31. It is a spiral galaxy located about 2.5 million light-years from Earth. On ...

How the pioneering scientist, and namesake of an enormous new telescope, forced astronomers to rethink the universe.

The camera, now bolted to the end of a giant telescope at the Rubin Observatory, is expected to shoot photos of 20 billion galaxies, to be stitched together in broad panoramas giving astronomers ...
