Dark matter, one of the Universe’s greatest mysteries, may have been born blazing hot instead of cold and sluggish as ...

Strange events seen at the very heart of the Milky Way could be smoking gun evidence of a new dark matter suspect. If that is the case, scientists may have been missing the subtle impact of dark ...

Astronomers have long been puzzled by two strange phenomena at the heart of our galaxy. First, the gas in the central molecular zone (CMZ), a dense and chaotic region near the Milky Way’s core, ...

A recent study by Rajendra Gupta, published in "Galaxies," proposes that cosmic phenomena conventionally ascribed to dark matter and dark energy can be explained by the temporal weakening of ...

Dark centre? A simulated version of the Milky Way galaxy. (Courtesy: AIP/ A. Khalatyan) Astronomers have long puzzled over the cause of a mysterious “glow” of very high energy gamma radiation ...

Researchers using new simulations suggest that the Milky Way’s past collisions may have reshaped its dark matter core. This distorted structure could naturally explain the puzzling gamma-ray glow long ...

Physicists have spent decades chasing two grand technological dreams: harnessing fusion power and uncovering the nature of ...

The glowing red band represents high concentrations of gamma rays across the center of the Milky Way. NASA / DOE / Fermi LAT Collaboration Dark matter—an unseen substance thought to make up 27 percent ...

At the center of our galaxy, there’s a mysterious, diffuse glow given off by gamma rays — powerful radiation usually emitted by high-energy objects such as rapidly rotating or exploding stars. NASA’s ...

This is interesting of course, but the article suffers from problems. Besides the missing article link, the linked spiral arm dynamical mass excess observations are not explained by dark matter as it ...

Astronomers have long been puzzled by two strange phenomena at the heart of our galaxy. First, the gas in the central molecular zone (CMZ), a dense and chaotic region near the Milky Way’s core, ...

For decades, astronomers have believed that dark matter and dark energy make up most of the universe. However, a new study suggests they might not exist at all. Instead, what we perceive as dark ...
