Scientists led by a team from the University of Chicago recently released a study that mapped some of the largest known ...

Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope took advantage of a giant cosmic magnifying glass to create one of the sharpest and most detailed maps of dark matter in the universe. Dark matter is an ...

New supercomputer simulations hint that dark energy might be dynamic, not constant, subtly reshaping the Universe’s structure. The findings align with recent DESI observations, offering the strongest ...

A mysterious, high-energy glow from gamma-rays in the Milky Way's center is reigniting the debate: dark matter or a hidden ...

Dark energy could have an accomplice that helps it slow the growth of large cosmic structures, such as vast superclusters made up of clusters of galaxies. A new analysis of astronomical data suggests ...

What is dark energy? Why does dark energy seem to be weakening? Is our universe part of a larger multiverse? What lies beyond the boundary of a black hole? The universe seems to be rotating, and if ...

Cosmologists have long been on the hunt for dark matter, which makes up 80 percent of the mass in the universe, and yet is still mysterious. As its name suggests, dark matter doesn’t emit light, ...

"This is the first time a feature of this scale and size has been found in a local galaxy cluster." Astronomers have spotted two massive galaxies locked in a cosmic tug-of-war 700 million light-years ...

The faint glow of individual stars stretching between two bright galaxies indicates that the galaxies are actively merging while the galaxy clusters that surround them merge as well. The image was ...

Dark energy makes up about 70% of the universe and causes its expansion to accelerate. It's different from dark matter; dark energy pushes space apart, while dark matter pulls things together. We ...
