Could galaxies straight out of a computer fool even the most seasoned astronomers? That is the case with the COLIBRE ...

Faint radio signals from the early Universe, soon detectable by Moon missions, may reveal how dark matter shaped gas cooling and clumping in the cosmic Dark Ages. Ordinary matter, which makes up the ...

Galaxies are far more than the sum of their stars. Long before stars even formed, dark matter clumped up and drew regular matter together with its gravity, providing the invisible scaffolding upon ...

Something invisible holds the universe intact. It outweighs everything you can see—every star, every gas cloud, every ...

A cosmological simulation study by researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has systematically revealed, for the first time, how the interaction ...

Researchers using new simulations suggest that the Milky Way’s past collisions may have reshaped its dark matter core. This distorted structure could naturally explain the puzzling gamma-ray glow long ...

Physicists have unveiled a new way to simulate a mysterious form of dark matter that can collide with itself but not with normal matter. This self-interacting dark matter may trigger a dramatic ...

In this visualization, each dot represents a gas parcel with a mass approximately 1,000 times that of the Sun in the simulation of the cosmic Dark Ages. The left and right panels compare the cold and ...

This is interesting of course, but the article suffers from problems. Besides the missing article link, the linked spiral arm dynamical mass excess observations are not explained by dark matter as it ...
