A series of high-resolution simulations has revealed a striking new perspective on theMilky Way’s position in the cosmos. Far ...

Computer simulations carried out by astronomers from the University of Groningen in collaboration with researchers from ...

In the close Universe, the distance typically is a predictor of speed: more distant galaxies recede more rapidly. Another ...

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 ...

For many years, scientists have tried to understand how the Milky Way is positioned in space, and how it moves together with ...

A new simulation tool lets scientists explore whether self-interacting dark matter could reshape galaxies from the inside out ...

It’s an open secret in astronomy that, practically wherever the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) looks in the sky, a vast, ...

Scientists have built detailed Milky Way simulations under strange new physical laws to probe dark matter, revealing how different versions of the universe might behave and helping us get closer to ...

There is a lot we have yet to understand about the center of the Milky Way—could it be due to a mass of invisible dark matter?

With less than 20 percent of all physical matter made from visible stuff—from stars and planets, to the kitchen sink—astronomers continue to hypothesize what form the invisible majority of the ...

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 ...
