In the leading model of cosmology, most of the universe is invisible: a combined 95% is made of dark matter and dark energy.

In a new study published in The Open Journal of Astrophysics, scientists have unveiled a new mapping of the universe’s ...

By studying faint distortions in galaxy shapes across a vast region of sky, scientists probed the hidden structure of the universe. In the standard picture of the universe, nearly everything is hidden ...

Our universe is filled with galaxies, in all directions as far as our instruments can see. Some researchers estimate that ...

An artist’s concept of the dark energy-driven accelerating expansion of the universe. New results suggest dark energy’s influence on cosmic expansion has weakened over time. In 2024 a shockwave ...

Is This the Moment? Scientists Detect a Signal That Might Be Dark Matter ...

New hints from one of the most extensive surveys of the cosmos to date suggest that mysterious dark energy may be evolving in ways that could shift how astronomers understand the universe. Dark energy ...

In the search to understand how the universe came to be, a new theory is rewriting the script. Instead of one massive, fiery birth like the Big Bang, this idea suggests the cosmos has been growing in ...

A new theory claims dark matter and dark energy don’t exist — they’re just side effects of the universe’s changing forces. By rethinking gravity and cosmic timelines, it could rewrite our ...

If not in visible stars and galaxies, the most likely hiding place for the matter is in the dark space between galaxies.

"Dark matter could be captured by stars and accumulate inside them. If that happens, it might also interact with itself and annihilate, releasing energy that heats the star." "Dark dwarfs" may sound ...

Dark matter is a real pain in the neck. The term dark matter itself refers to a hypothetical substance that seems to solely interact with the rest of the universe via gravity and to serve as the ...
