Brown dwarfs, also known as "failed stars," could be corrupted by dark matter and transformed into "dark dwarfs" powered by ...

Brown dwarfs are too small to sustain the nuclear fusion that powers most stars, so they cool and fade over time. But if they ...

The Milky Way is warped and scientists may finally know why. New research lays the blame for our 'wobbly disked' galaxy on an invisible halo of dark matter.

A mysterious gamma-ray glow at the center of the Milky Way is most likely caused by pulsars. The findings cast doubt on previous interpretations of the signal as a potential sign of dark matter.

The result confirms the long-standing belief that the centre of the Milky Way is rich in dark matter, just like its outer regions. While the researchers have deliberately avoided using any specific ...

They looked there, Hooper explained, because it's one of dark matter's favorite hangout spots and, in the Milky Way's case, the stuff is 100,000 times more concentrated than at the galaxy's outskirts.

An international team of astrophysicists has identified a link between dark matter and the oldest stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way. This image of the Milky Way (and its neighboring Magellanic Clouds ...

A mysterious cosmic signal radiating from the center of our Milky Way galaxy is actually triggered by ancient stars, rather than dark matter, according to a new study.

The halo of dark matter that is thought to surround the Milky Way appears to be shaped like a squashed beach ball, astronomers have found.

The eerie streams could also reveal which galaxies the Milky Way has gobbled up over the years. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

A new study done by physicists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that stars at the edge of the Milky Way travel more slowly than those closer to the center.
