The vast, seemingly empty spaces between galaxies are not entirely empty. So what's in these cosmic voids?
Why do dwarf galaxies line up? 'Zippers' and 'twisters' in the early universe may solve a galactic mystery
Structures known as "zippers" and "twisters" in the early universe may explain why dwarf galaxies tend to line up with each other, as well as hint at how dark matter operates in the universe.
What is dark matter?
Reference Roughly 80% of the mass of the universe is made up of dark matter, a material that scientists cannot directly observe. So why do scientists think it dominates?

Ghostly galaxy without dark matter baffles astronomers
Astronomers have stumbled upon yet another ghostly galaxy that appears to be devoid of dark matter, the elusive stuff that makes up most of the material universe.
A 'cosmic car radio' could help scientists tune in to dark matter within the next 15 years
Scientists have developed a cosmic car radio that could tune into the frequency of axions, a prime dark matter suspect.
Matter-spewing 'singularities' could eliminate the need for dark energy and dark matter
A new cosmic model suggests that singularities could briefly pop into existence, spewing matter and energy into the cosmos, negating the need for dark energy and dark matter.
