Scientists Say the Milky Way Might Sit Inside a Massive Dark Matter Sheet
- Sunday March 8, 2026
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
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.

NASA’s TESS Captures First Images of Rare Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
- Thursday January 29, 2026
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite has captured rare images of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, only the third such object ever detected. Observations from January 2026 reveal the comet rotates every 15 hours and produces sunlight-driven jets, behaving much like Solar System comets. Scientists say studying 3I/ATLAS may unlock clues about th...

Astronomers Look to the Large Magellanic Cloud to Study How Stars Are Born
- Friday January 2, 2026
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The Large Magellanic Cloud is a nearby dwarf galaxy glowing with star birth. Just 160,000 light-years away, it hosts vast nebulae like the Tarantula and historic events such as Supernova 1987A, offering astronomers a rare, close-up laboratory to study how stars form, evolve, and explode.

Runaway Stars Help Astronomers Trace Dark Matter Distribution Across the Milky Way Galaxy
- Friday January 2, 2026
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
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.

Indian Scientists Discover Ancient Milky Way-Like Galaxy Alaknanda With Spiral Arms
- Wednesday December 3, 2025
- World News | Edited by NDTV News Desk
Indian scientists have discovered an ancient and massive galaxy called Alaknanda. It looks similar to our Milky Way galaxy and is special because it has clear spiral arms, even though it formed when the universe was only 1.5 billion years old.

Dark Matter May Have Been Seen for the First Time in NASA Gamma-Ray Data
- Wednesday November 26, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A new analysis of NASA’s Fermi telescope data reveals a faint gamma-ray halo around the Milky Way’s core, matching predictions for annihilating dark-matter particles. Researchers say no known astrophysical source fits the signal, raising the possibility of the first direct evidence of dark matter. Experts, however, stress caution and call for v...
