An international collaboration has successfully charted extensive regions of CO-dark molecular gas within Cygnus X, a vibrant star-forming segment of our Milky Way. Utilizing data from the National Science Foundation's Green Bank Telescope…
(NaturalNews) We often imagine our galaxy as a serene, spinning disk of stars, a celestial carousel of light against the black velvet of space. This comforting imag...
A mysterious glow at the center of the Milky Way has puzzled astronomers for more than a decade. New research offers an explanation that could also reshape what we know about dark matter.
For decades, astronomers have been vying to identify a source for a mysterious gamma-ray excess at the center of the Milky Way. Could dark matter be the answer?
Our Milky Way is far from calm — it ripples with a colossal wave spanning tens of thousands of light-years, revealed by ESA’s Gaia telescope. This wave, moving through the galaxy’s disc like ripples in water, shifts stars up and down in a…
A puzzling glow of gamma rays at the Milky Way’s center may finally be pointing scientists toward dark matter, the invisible substance thought to make up most of the universe. Using supercomputers, researchers recreated the galaxy’s…
While out photographing the dark skies of New Zealand last weekend, the heavens aligned for Dan Zafra as he captured lightning sprites appearing in front of the galactic core of the Milky Way.
Scientists at Johns Hopkins may be closing in on dark matter’s elusive trail, uncovering a mysterious gamma ray glow at the heart of our galaxy that could signal unseen matter colliding — or perhaps the frantic spin of dying stars. Using…
(NaturalNews) Researchers may have found the first indirect evidence of dark matter. A mysterious gamma-ray glow at the Milky Way's center is the key signal....
New research finds dark matter in the Milky Way is unevenly distributed, supporting its role as a possible source of the galaxy's central gamma ray excess.
