For years, the center of our galaxy has been painted as a place where stars go to meet their end — a region ruled by Sagittarius A*, a black hole so massive that its gravity can stretch, tear, and ...
Stars usually form in clusters, which can also form in pairs or groups. Binary clusters (BCs) are defined as pairs of open ...
"In order to get such high sensitivity in the mid-infrared, one needs to go to space, as the atmosphere severely messes up ...
A new study says observations from the NASA Fermi space telescope suggest a halo of dark matter around the center of our ...
The universe occasionally produces a huge surprise that proves physicists wrong, says Kip Thorne, who grew up in Logan, Utah, ...
NASA’s Fermi telescope has detected a 20-GeV gamma-ray halo around the Milky Way’s center that may match dark-matter annihilation.
Research published Tuesday by a Japanese astrophysicist says gamma rays may have been generated by the collision of dark ...
More than 100 years after its existence was predicted, scientists report that they have, for the first time, seen dark matter.
New measurements from deep-sky surveys reveal a huge structure pushing into the Milky Way’s outer regions, distorting stars ...
A Japanese scientist thinks he has observed dark matter at the centre of the Milky Way. He says the halo in the galaxy is a ...
In the dense environment of the early universe, dark matter particles would collide with, and annihilate, each other, releasing energy in the process. This energy could heat the hydrogen and helium ...
New research shows that Theia, the planet that collided with Earth and formed the Moon, was a rocky world born closer to the ...
