New supercomputer simulations suggest the Milky Way could be surrounded by dozens more faint, undetected satellite ...

“Dark matter interacts gravitationally, so it could be captured by stars and accumulate inside them. If that happens, it might also interact with itself and annihilate, releasing energy that heats the ...

Celestial objects known as dark dwarfs may be hiding at the center of our galaxy and could offer key clues to uncover the ...

Astronomers have studied the globular cluster 47 Tucanae extensively, but still have many questions. It may have an ...

Stargazers may catch a cosmic light show this Fourth of July weekend when the Milky Way appears in the night sky across the ...

Brown dwarfs are too small to sustain the nuclear fusion that powers most stars, so they cool and fade over time. But if they ...

New research suggests sub-stellar objects called dark dwarfs could glow forever on dark matter energy. Could they reveal secrets about the universe’s hidden mass?

Alternative to fireworks? Stargazers could instead catch a cosmic light show this Fourth of July weekend when the Milky Way ...

The Hubble Space Telescope captures the dwarf galaxy NGC 4449 in the constellation Canes Venatici (The Hunting Dogs).

NASA’s Hubble and Webb telescopes observe explosive star formation in the Small Magellanic Cloud's NGC 460 and NGC 456 clusters.

Scientists have used machine learning to dramatically speed up the processing time when simulating galaxy evolution coupled with supernova explosion.

Dark dwarfs, stars composed of dark matter, may be the optimal objects in which to finally discover physical dark matter in the real world.
