James Webb Telescope Finds Galaxies Nearly as Old as the Early Universe
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has revealed early galaxies that appear almost as old as the universe itself. By analyzing 31 galaxies at high redshift, researchers estimated stellar ages of around 600 million years—close to the universe’s age at that epoch. One galaxy may even seem older than the universe, posing a potential challenge to t...

Study Reveals Rare Black Hole Blast Behind Powerful Neutrino That Hit Earth In 2023
Scientists believe that studying these explosions can help understand where such powerful neutrinos came from and can also provide new information in understanding the mystery of dark matter.

Dark Matter May Not Exist, Study Suggests Gravity Works Differently at Cosmic Scales
A new theoretical study suggests dark matter may not exist, proposing instead that gravity behaves differently across vast cosmic distances. By modifying how gravity weakens over scale, the research explains galaxy rotation and lensing effects without unseen particles, raising questions about long-standing cosmological models and inviting a fresh l...

Gravity May Behave Differently Across the Universe, Study Suggests
A new study suggests dark matter may not exist. Physicist Naman Kumar proposes gravity weakens differently across vast distances, following a 1/r rule. This modified gravity model reproduces galaxy rotation curves using only visible matter, challenging long-held assumptions about unseen mass in the universe, and reshaping theories of cosmic structu...

Impossible Neutrino Detected on Earth May Come From an Exploding Primordial Black Hole
A mysterious neutrino detected in 2023 may be debris from an exploding primordial black hole. Scientists say the ultra-energetic particle defies known cosmic sources and could represent Hawking radiation, offering rare insight into early-universe physics and the possible nature of dark matter while challenging theories of black holes and cosmology.

NASA's New High-Resolution Map Shows Dark Matter In "Stunning Detail"
The map provides insights into the universe's evolution, tracing dark matter's influence back to when galaxies were forming most actively.

James Webb Helps Astronomers Chart the Universe’s Hidden Dark Matter
Astronomers have created the sharpest map yet of dark matter using deep observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. By analysing the gravitational distortion of hundreds of thousands of distant galaxies, the team traced invisible dark matter across a large region of the sky. The results confirm that dark matter forms the scaffolding arou...

New Dark Matter Simulation Could Change How Galaxies Are Thought to Evolve
Scientists at the Perimeter Institute have developed a new simulation code, KISS-SIDM, to study self-interacting dark matter. The tool shows how rare dark matter interactions can heat and collapse galaxy halos, potentially explaining dense galactic cores and the early formation of supermassive black holes.

Hypothetical ‘Dark Stars’ Could Rewrite Early Cosmic History, Research Suggests
Hypothetical dark stars could explain three early universe mysteries: the abundance of supermassive black holes, dense blue monster galaxies, and compact little red dots. Powered by dark matter rather than fusion, these stars may have formed before normal stars, collapsing to create black hole seeds and influencing early galaxy observations, accord...

Astronomers Find ‘Dark Object’ 11 Billion Light-Years Away Through Gravity
Astronomers have observed a completely dark mysterious object, which is approximately a million times more massive than the mass of the Sun. It is found about 11 billion light-years distant and was identified in 2025 through its gravitational impact on the light of a background galaxy. This renders it the farthest object ever to have been observed ...
