What is the total mass of our Milky Way Galaxy? The short answer, so far, is 7 x 1011 solar masses, says a team of astronomers at McMaster University,...
All or at least a significant part of dark matter is made up of so-called primordial black holes, according to Dr. Alexander Kashlinsky, an astrophysicist...
Analysis of the very high resolution Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of the gravitational lens SDP.81 reveals a dwarf...
An international team of astronomers reported today that they had tracked down the location of a so-called fast radio burst (FRB), a mysterious and rarely...
This artist’s concept shows an active supermassive black hole with a jet streaming outward at nearly the speed of light. Such black holes are often found...
Our planet, Jupiter and other compact bodies are surrounded by ultra-dense filaments of dark matter called ‘hairs,’ suggests Dr Gary Prézeau of NASA’s...
