Dark Matter May Behave Like Ordinary Matter Under Gravity, New Study Finds
A new study shows dark matter falls into cosmic gravity wells much like ordinary matter, narrowing one of astronomy’s biggest mysteries. Researchers say any unknown force acting on dark matter must be very weak, though future missions could detect smaller effects. The findings bring scientists closer to understanding how the universe’s unseen m...

Astronomers Capture First Image of Two Supermassive Black Holes Orbiting Each Other
Astronomers have captured the first image of two supermassive black holes orbiting in quasar OJ 287. The smaller black hole’s jet spirals due to gravitational forces from the larger one. This discovery validates dual-core theories and opens doors for research on gravitational waves and galaxy evolution.

NASA Uses Rocky Mountain Helicopter Drills to Prepare Astronauts for Artemis Moon Missions
NASA has certified a helicopter-based lander training course in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains to prepare Artemis astronauts for Moon missions. The high-altitude terrain creates lunar-like visual illusions, forcing pilots to master landings in dusty, slope-filled conditions. Over two dozen astronauts have now trained in this challenging, realistic si...
