New supercomputer simulations suggest the Milky Way could be surrounded by dozens more faint, undetected satellite ...

“Dark matter interacts gravitationally, so it 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 ...

This evening’s viewing challenge is the planet Mercury. It is less than half a fist above the west-northwestern horizon at ...

New research suggests sub-stellar objects called dark dwarfs could glow forever on dark matter energy. Could they reveal secrets about the universe’s hidden mass?

The Milky Way could have many more satellite galaxies than scientists have previously been able to predict or observe, ...

The stately and inclined spiral galaxy NGC 3511 is located 43 million light-years away in the constellation Crater (The Cup). A sparkling cloudscape from one of the Milky Way’s galactic neighbours, a ...

Andromeda XXXV, a satellite galaxy of the Andromeda Galaxy, astonishes scientists. Contrary to what current models predict, this dwarf galaxy survived the extreme conditions of the early universe, ...

Scientists didn't expect that stars would be able to still form in the dwarf galaxy known as Leo P, which the James Webb Telescope recently imaged.

Fast-moving stars zooming through our galaxy might have been slingshotted from a black hole inside the neighbouring Large Magellanic Cloud ...
