Dark matter doesn't absorb or give off light so scientists can't study it directly. But they can observe how its gravity ...

Dark matter is a mysterious substance that glues galaxies together. This map from the James Webb Space Telescope could help ...

The distribution of normal matter precisely determines gravitational acceleration in all common types of galaxies, a team led by Case Western Reserve University researchers reports. The team has shown ...

The standard cosmology can answer almost nothing about how the structure of a galaxy is formed. It expects a supermassive black hole at the center and dark matter in the halo to explain the ...

The vastness of space allows for a huge variety of structures to pop up all over the place. Even things we think of as one-and-done objects—like galaxies—come in quite a few shapes and sizes. Follow ...

Researchers have uncovered where FRBs are more likely to occur in the universe -- massive star-forming galaxies rather than low - mass ones. Since their discovery in 2007, fast radio bursts -- ...

"Imagine that you shoot a cloud with a gun; the energy of the bullet can be as large as you wish, and the cloud won't care. Yet we see less clouds of gas where there are black holes." When you ...

Astronomers spotted nine galaxies with characteristics that have never been seen as a collection before. It's possible this is a newly found type of star-forming galaxy.

Researchers suggest the universe's background radiation has been overestimated, potentially challenging the standard model of cosmology and our understanding of early galaxy formation. Space, time and ...
