All of the people and mountains and planets and stars that you see around you only make up 15% of the universe's mass. The rest of it is dark matter.

The mystery of galaxies in the early Universe just got even weirder. A team of astronomers has identified a giant spiral galaxy so well-formed that it already has a stable galactic bar; a long, ...

In recent groundbreaking research published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, scientists from the University of Queensland have provided insights into the likely fate of our galaxy ...

Astronomers evaluate how the Vera C. Rubin Observatory can detect and localize the next Milky Way core-collapse supernova using neutrino alerts and optical surveys.

An international team has discovered the most distant spiral galaxy candidate known to date. This ultra-massive system existed just one billion years after the Big Bang and already shows a remarkably ...

A hundred years ago, astronomer Edwin Hubble dramatically expanded the size of the known universe. At a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in January 1925, a paper read by one of his ...

"Interestingly, the quasar powering this massive radio jet does not have an extreme black hole mass compared to other quasars." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

The dark matter distribution of a Milky Way mass halo in a Lambda-cold dark matter (LCDM) cosmological simulation. This is the highest resolution simulation of a MW-mass dark matter halo ever ...
