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

Imagine a star powered not by nuclear fusion, but by one of the universe’s greatest mysteries—dark matter. Scientists have ...

“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 ...

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?

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

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

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

Deep in the constellation Canes Venatici, also called the Hunting Dogs, lies the dwarf galaxy NGC 4449. It's part of the M94 galaxy group, near a group of galaxies to which our Milky Way belongs.

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

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

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