Latest about dark matter
The local universe may be expanding more slowly than previously thought, a discovery that could relieve a pesky discrepancy known as the Hubble tension.
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered what seems to be a galaxy that is the most heavily dominated by dark matter ever seen.
Faint structures play a crucial role in cosmic development, and scientists are only just beginning to grasp their full extent and role in shaping the universe.
New research suggests that the heart of the Milky Way may be dominated by a dense clump of dark matter rather than the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*.
"It highlights gravity's possible hidden complexity and invites a reevaluation of where dark matter effects originate."
Astronomers used James Webb Space Telescope data to determine the density of the universe's most mysterious "stuff."
"If our hypothesized dark charge is true, then we believe there could be a significant population of primordial black holes, which would be consistent with other astrophysical observations, and account for all the missing dark matter in the universe."
"These results from the Dark Energy Survey shine new light on our understanding of the universe and its expansion."
