On a dark clear night, the Milky Way is a strikingly beautiful stream of light stretching across the sky. Every culture has assigned it a name and meaning, but the word that stuck for scientists came ...

That is the Milky Way, our home galaxy, and you can see it best on dark, clear nights in the summer. It contains hundreds of billions of stars, including the sun that we orbit. It also has dust ...

Researchers at King's College London have discovered positively charged hydrogen clouds in the Milky Way's center, suggesting a lighter form of dark matter may be at play. Their findings challenge ...

Dark matter density in the Milky Way measured using pulsars Pulsar acceleration data reveals galactic gravitational mapping Study expands dark matter research beyond ...

a lightweight form of dark matter capable of self-annihilating and releasing charged particles. These particles would ionize ...

Dark matter continues to confound us, so far defying every attempt to decipher it. According to a new study, clues may lurk in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone, a vast region of hydrogen ...

A team of researchers has proposed a new lead: a lightweight form of dark matter capable of self-annihilating and releasing charged particles. These particles would ionize the gas present in the ...

Now, researchers at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) say they have made a major breakthrough in the study of dark matter in the Milky Way galaxy. Dr. Sukanya Chakrabarti, the Pei-Ling ...

Abstract: We employ an improved methodology to insert live stellar discs into high-resolution dark matter simulations of Milky Way-sized haloes, allowing us to investigate the fate of thin stellar ...

A new study suggests that clues about dark matter may be hidden in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone, a large area of hydrogen molecules surrounding the centre of our galaxy. Dark matter ...
