Astronomers Discover Two Galaxies That Appear to Lack Dark Matter
Researchers studying FCC 224 and FCC 240 in the Fornax Cluster found evidence that both galaxies contain surprisingly little dark matter. The discovery supports the idea that galaxy collisions can strip away dark matter and raises new questions about how galaxies evolve.

New Black Hole Study Suggests Singularities May Not Exist
A new study suggests charged black holes may avoid singularities through quantum effects and Hawking radiation. The findings could reshape theories of gravity, space-time, and even the origins of dark matter.

Study Finds Potential Dark 'Matter Imprint' In Gravitational Waves
Scientists emphasised that more observations and analysis are required before any confirmed detection of dark matter can be claimed.

Scientists Reconsider Dark Matter Theory Amid Growing Cosmological Mysteries
Scientists propose a self-interacting Dark Matter model in which particles collide and form dense cores. The theory could explain mysterious gravitational effects seen in galaxy lenses, stellar streams, and dwarf galaxies across the universe.

Scientists Challenge Black Hole Theory, Say Dark Matter Core May Lie At Centre Of Milky Way
Lead author Valentina Crespi explained that this dense dark matter core could bend light so strongly that it creates a dark region in the centre.

Ultra-High-Energy Neutrino Detected Beneath Mediterranean Sea Baffles Scientists
Scientists suggest an ultra-high-energy neutrino detected by KM3NeT detector may come from a primordial black hole explosion, hinting at new physics involving dark charge and the early universe.

Andromeda XXXVI Discovery Sheds Light on Dark Matter Rich Dwarf Galaxies
Astronomers have discovered Andromeda XXXVI, an ultra-faint, dark matter-rich satellite of Andromeda Galaxy. This ancient system may be a fossil from the early universe, helping scientists study galaxy formation and dark matter.

Scientists Say the Milky Way Might Sit Inside a Massive Dark Matter Sheet
Astronomers found the Milky Way lies within a massive flat sheet of dark matter about 32 million light-years across. Simulations show this structure and nearby cosmic voids balance gravitational forces, explaining why most nearby galaxies move away instead of falling toward the Local Group.

Scientists Discover Rare, Nearly Invisible Galaxy Dominated By Dark Matter
According to researchers, approximately 99 percent of this galaxy's total mass is dark matter.

Astronomers Find ‘Impossible’ Galaxy ACDG-2 With Virtually No Stars and a Massive Dark Matter Core
Astronomers have identified CDG-2, a faint galaxy in the Perseus cluster that appears to be composed almost entirely of dark matter. Located 300 million light-years from Earth, it was discovered by tracking globular star clusters using data from Hubble, Euclid, and Subaru telescopes. Scientists estimate that about 99% of its total mass is dark matt...

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...
