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.

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...

AI Identifies More Than 1,300 Unusual Objects in Hubble Space Telescope Images
Artificial intelligence has combed through decades of Hubble Space Telescope data, revealing hundreds of unusual celestial objects that astronomers had missed. ESA’s AnomalyMatch neural network scanned around 100 million image cutouts in just days, flagging more than 1,300 anomalies. Among them are colliding galaxies, rare gravitational lenses, a...

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...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Might Have Spotted Hidden Supermassive Black Holes
Mysterious “little red dots” spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope may not be tiny galaxies after all. A new study suggests they are supermassive black holes wrapped in dense gas and dust, perfectly disguised in the early universe and shining intensely in infrared light.

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 ...

Physicists Deploy Quantum Sensors to Hunt the Universe’s Missing Matter
Dark matter makes up most of the universe’s mass, yet it has never been directly detected. Scientists are now deploying ultracold quantum sensors, underground detectors and space telescopes to catch its faint signals. At Texas A&M, new silicon detectors aim to register extremely rare particle interactions, while global experiments push sensitivit...

Hubble Telescope Spots Starless Dark Matter Cloud Cloud 9, Opening Window Into Dark Universe
Hubble has discovered Cloud 9, a starless dark-matter cloud near galaxy M94, offering scientists a rare chance to study early galaxy formation. This failed galaxy, part of a class known as RELHICs, shows hydrogen gas but no star formation, highlighting the role of dark matter in shaping the cosmos and revealing potential hidden structures in our lo...

Runaway Stars Help Astronomers Trace Dark Matter Distribution Across the Milky Way Galaxy
Astronomers have identified dozens of runaway stars moving fast enough to escape the Milky Way. By tracking these hypervelocity stars, researchers can map the galaxy’s gravitational pull and better understand how dark matter is distributed across its vast halo, offering new insight into the unseen structure shaping our cosmic home.

NASA’s Chandra Spots Champagne Cluster Formed by a Massive Galaxy Collision
Discovered on New Year’s Eve 2020, the Champagne Cluster is a striking pair of colliding galaxy clusters revealed through combined X-ray and optical observations. NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory shows superheated gas stretched and distorted, exposing a massive cosmic collision hidden from visible light alone. Studied by UC Davis astronomers, t...
