Dark matter circling the centre of a black hole could produce gamma rays that can be seen from Earth, according to new study. Gamma rays are the most energetic form of light in the universe and ...

This amazing 3D map was developed by a team from Durham University in England, revealing the correct locations and properties of local group galaxies. Using a supercomputer, the simulation was ...

Hubble eXtreme Deep Field "XDF" (2012) view — except for a few stars, every speck of light is an entire galaxy — some as old as 13.2 billion years. NASA; ESA; G. Illingworth, D. Magee, and P. Oesch, ...

Gamma-ray light from dark matter particles colliding near a black hole NASA Goddard/Jeremy Schnittman Dark matter particles colliding in the gravity of black holes have the potential to produce ...

Faint radio signals from the early Universe, soon detectable by Moon missions, may reveal how dark matter shaped gas cooling and clumping in the cosmic Dark Ages. Ordinary matter, which makes up the ...

Astronomers have performed the biggest-ever computer simulations to investigate how the universe evolved from the Big Bang. Project Flamingo calculated how ordinary matter, dark matter and dark energy ...

Galaxies like the Milky Way could have existed in the early universe Reuters Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University's McWilliams Centre for Cosmology and the University of California Berkeley ...

At the center of our galaxy, there’s a mysterious, diffuse glow given off by gamma rays — powerful radiation usually emitted by high-energy objects such as rapidly rotating or exploding stars. NASA’s ...

Researchers have created the most detailed simulation of the history of the universe, complete with exploding gas clouds, swirling galaxies, ravenous black holes and countless stars – born to die in ...

SCIENTISTS have mapped for the first time a previously hidden network of dark matter "bridges" between our nearest galaxies. The discovery, scientists announced, "opens up a new chapter of ...

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 ...
