NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures the magnificent starry population of the Coma Cluster of galaxies, one of the densest known galaxy collections in the universe — and where the effect of dark ...

Cosmic dawn galaxies seen by JWST reveal hidden clues about dark matter and keep rival theories about its true nature alive.

"If such a fifth force exists, it cannot exceed 7% of the strength of gravity." Scientists have discovered that dark matter, the universe's most mysterious "stuff," obeys gravity on vast cosmological ...

Dark matter, which researchers believe make up about 80% of the universe’s mass, is one of the most elusive mysteries in modern physics. What exactly it is and how it came to be is a mystery, but a ...

The gravitational influence of dark matter on stellar motions within galaxies, particularly the high velocities of stars in the Milky Way, is the primary evidence for its existence. This influence is ...

"I think it's natural to take a break and wonder whether we are fundamentally thinking about this in the wrong way." Dark matter could be made from tiny black holes formed when so-called "dark baryons ...
