Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery of a ‘dark object’ concealed within a warped ‘Einstein ring’ located 10 billion light-years away. This significant finding advances our understanding ...

In the dense environment of the early universe, dark matter particles would collide with, and annihilate, each other, ...

The vast majority of matter is dark – invisible until it is detected only through its gravitational effects. The newly discovered object could be a clump of dark matter, or it could also be a compact, ...

With the aid of a multinational network of radio telescopes, scientists have been able to detect the lowest-mass dark object ever found in the universe. The mysterious object, roughly one million ...

Researchers may be a step closer to identifying dark matter after studying unusual cases of gravitational lensing caused by "dark matter halos" surrounding distant galaxies. When you purchase through ...

Dark matter is believed to make up more than 80 percent of all matter in the universe, but what it actually is remains a mystery. Now, astronomers have found something that gives us a major clue. This ...

The vastness of the universe is hard to comprehend, let alone map, but a cosmological project from the National Science Foundation’s NOIRLab aims to do just that. The Dark Energy Spectroscopic ...

Using a worldwide network of radio telescopes including the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia, astronomers have discovered a mysterious object in the distant universe. A million times the mass of ...

For Adolf Luther reality is not the observable world of phenomena that stands in the tradition of a mimetic art; rather, his reality is to be found under, or rather beyond, the immediately observable ...

A mysterious object found deep in the cosmos could soon have astronomers rethinking what they know about dark matter. That's according to a team of researchers who turned to a global network of ...

The black ring and central dot show infrared image of a distant galaxy distorted by a gravitation lens. Orange/reg shows radio waves from the same object. The inset shows a pinch caused by another, ...
