Scientists May Have Caught The First Real Glimpse Of Dark Matter, Universe's Most Elusive Ingredient
The new study led by Prof Tomonori Totani of the University of Tokyo analysed Fermi telescope observations of the Milky Way's centre - the region where dark matter is expected to be densest.

Scientists May Have Come Closer To Confirming Dark Matter's Existence, New Study Finds Clue
The study notes that if excess gamma light is not from dying stars, it could become the first proof that dark matter exists.

Dark Matter Might Leave A Faint Colour Mark In Light, Say Scientists
Dark matter, though invisible, might subtly alter the colour of light passing through it, according to a new University of York study. Researchers propose that weak particle interactions could create faint red or blue tints, offering a new path for future telescopes to detect dark matter indirectly.

Astronomers Spot Mysterious Dark Object In Distant Universe, It's A Million Times Larger Than The Sun
A mysterious object with a mass equivalent to 1 million suns has been detected in space, but its nature remains unknown.

Dark Matter Theories Suggest Hidden Mirror World and Origins at the Edge of the Universe
Two new studies from UC Santa Cruz propose that dark matter may have originated from a hidden mirror world or been radiated into existence by the universe’s expanding cosmic horizon. These theories, rooted in established physics, challenge traditional models and suggest dark matter could exist without interacting with ordinary matter, redefining ...

New Inelastic Dark Matter Model Could Bypass Current Limits of Particle Detection
A new study from Brazil proposes an inelastic dark matter model using a massive vector mediator, potentially explaining the correct abundance of dark matter while evading existing detection limits. This fresh approach could revive interest in previously ruled-out models and offers experimental pathways to test these elusive particles through the in...

Hubble Unveils Dark Matter Web in Stunning Abell 209 Galaxy Cluster Image
NASA/ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope has released a stunning new image of Abell 209, a massive galaxy cluster 2.8 billion light-years away in Cetus. The golden cluster houses over 100 galaxies, but beneath them lies an invisible web of hot gas and dark matter. Using gravitational lensing, Hubble reveals curved arcs of light from background galaxies,...

Vera C. Rubin Observatory Unveils First Images, Hints at Universe’s Dynamic Secrets Ahead
The Rubin Observatory’s first image captures 10 million galaxies, marking the start of a decade-long sky survey. With its powerful telescope and LSST camera, it will scan the southern sky every three nights, unveiling hidden galaxies, stellar nurseries, and transient cosmic events. Scientists anticipate transformative discoveries about dark matte...

Astronomers Locate Universe's 'Missing' Matter
With the help of powerful bursts of radio waves emanating from 69 locations in the cosmos, researchers now have found the "missing" matter.

Dark Energy May Not Be Constant - How This Discovery Can Change Science
The great Russian physicist and Nobel laureate Lev Landau once remarked that "cosmologists are often in error, but never in doubt". In studying the history of the universe itself, there is always a chance that we have got it all wrong.

Did Black Hole Radiation Shape the Universe?
A study suggests that Hawking radiation, first proposed by Stephen Hawking, may have influenced the universe’s structure. According to reports, primordial black holes that existed in the early universe could have evaporated through Hawking radiation, impacting matter distribution. The research explores how these black holes might have shaped gala...

ESA’s Euclid Telescope Releases First Data, Mapping 26 Million Galaxies
ESA’s Euclid telescope has released its first dataset, mapping 26 million galaxies within a week. The observations include deep-field images, a survey of 380,000 galaxies, and 500 new gravitational lens candidates. Scientists will continue tracking cosmic evolution over six years. The dataset, currently 35 terabytes, is expected to grow to 2 peta...

Euclid Space Telescope Discovers Rare Einstein Ring, Revealing Dark Matter Secrets
The Euclid space telescope has detected a rare Einstein ring around galaxy NGC 6505, located approximately 590 million light-years from Earth. This phenomenon, resulting from gravitational lensing, allows scientists to study the distribution of dark matter within the lensing galaxy. The discovery aligns with Euclid's mission to map cosmic structure...
