Dark matter doesn't absorb or give off light so scientists can't study it directly. But they can observe how its gravity ...

The distribution of normal matter precisely determines gravitational acceleration in all common types of galaxies, a team led by Case Western Reserve University researchers reports. The team has shown ...

The vastness of space allows for a huge variety of structures to pop up all over the place. Even things we think of as one-and-done objects—like galaxies—come in quite a few shapes and sizes. Follow ...

Dark matter is a mysterious substance that glues galaxies together. This map from the James Webb Space Telescope could help ...

A team of Japanese astronomers from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, Tokyo University, and Kyoto University in Japan obtained infrared and high-resolution images of galaxies from 11 ...

A collection of Ultra-red Fattened Objects (UFOs) as seen by the James Webb Space Teescope. In a new study, a team of astrophysicists led by the University of Colorado Boulder has set out to unravel ...

Researchers have uncovered where FRBs are more likely to occur in the universe -- massive star-forming galaxies rather than low - mass ones. Since their discovery in 2007, fast radio bursts -- ...

Researchers suggest the universe's background radiation has been overestimated, potentially challenging the standard model of cosmology and our understanding of early galaxy formation. Space, time and ...

A team of astronomers based at the European Space Agency demonstrated how artificial intelligence technology will alter existing methods of locating rare astronomical phenomena within our galaxy, the ...
