Astronomers Discover Potential ‘Dark Galaxy’ Near the Milky Way
Astronomers have spotted a massive hydrogen cloud near the Milky Way that may be a rare dark galaxy—an object composed of gas and dark matter but lacking stars and light. Detected through radio telescopes, the galaxy-like structure challenges conventional astronomy and could reveal hidden phases of galaxy formation and dark matter interaction in ...

James Webb Space Telescope Reveals a Stunning Einstein Ring in Hydrus
A striking new image from the James Webb Space Telescope reveals an Einstein ring in the Hydrus constellation. The phenomenon occurs when a massive foreground galaxy bends light from a hidden background galaxy, forming a near-perfect ring. This effect, predicted by Einstein’s theory of general relativity, helps astronomers study galaxies from the...

Energy Signals From Milky Way's Core Could Unveil New Type Of Dark Matter: Study
A new study suggests that clues about dark matter may be hidden in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone, where unexplained chemical reactions could be caused by a lighter form of dark matter.

Unexpected Rotational Motion Detected in Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies of Hydra Cluster
Astronomers studying ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the Hydra cluster have observed unexpected rotational movement in nearly half of the 30 galaxies examined. Spectroscopic data from the LEWIS programme, using the MUSE instrument on the Very Large Telescope, suggests that gravitational interactions with larger galaxies may influence their formati...

Searching For Elusive Dark Matter, India Reaches for The Skies At Hanle
About 4,300 above sea level, in Ladakh's Hanle, a massive telescope is waiting for signals as India tries to decode some of the universe's greatest mysteries such as black holes and supernovae.

Berkeley Lab Researchers Record Successful Startup of Next-Generation LUX-ZEPLIN Dark Matter Detector
Berkeley Lab Researchers recently recorded the successful startup of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment, the next-generation dark matter detector that is housed below the Black Hills in South Dakota at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF). The experiment is one of three Generation 2 dark matter experiments selected by the US Department of Ener...

World's Most Sensitive Dark Matter Detector In The Offing
A next-generation dark matter detector that will be at least 100 times more sensitive than its predecessor is on schedule to begin its deep-underground hunt for theoretical particles known as WIMPs, or weakly interacting massive particles.

Massive Dark Matter Found in Nearby Galaxy
Astronomers have found what may be the highest concentration of the elusive dark matter in any known galaxy, by measuring the mass of a nearby dwarf galaxy.

Massive Dark Matter in 'Failed' Galaxies Detected
The galaxies appear to have stopped making new stars when they first fell into the cluster between seven and ten billion years ago and have been dead ever since.
