Data from the James Webb Space Telescope was used to create the largest, highest resolution map of dark matter, just ...

The latest map, published Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy, includes information on new galaxy clusters and the strands ...

Hints that dark matter might be destroying itself have flickered through astronomical data for more than a decade, but a new analysis claims the clearest signal yet of that violent process. Instead of ...

Dark matter seems invisible, but it makes up most matter, and we have evidence that it gives the cosmos its shape. Now ...

Published in Nature Astronomy, the study details how Webb's infrared instruments charted nearly 800,000 galaxies in the COSMOS field. The data reveal how dark matter – ...

For more than a decade, NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has quietly mapped the high-energy sky, searching for subtle patterns in the cosmic glow. Now a new analysis of its data points to a ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures the magnificent starry population of the Coma Cluster of galaxies, one of the densest known galaxy collections in the universe — and where the effect of dark ...

Dark matter clumps could act as stellar lampshades, drifting between Earth and distant stars, dimming them by an almost imperceptible amount, a new study suggests. If this idea is correct, such "dark ...

Dark matter is thought to outnumber regular matter by a factor of five to one – so why can’t we find the stuff? A new study proposes looking for it from space, using a satellite containing a ...
