Latest about dark matter
New research suggests that the heart of the Milky Way may be dominated by a dense clump of dark matter rather than the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*.
"It highlights gravity's possible hidden complexity and invites a reevaluation of where dark matter effects originate."
Astronomers used James Webb Space Telescope data to determine the density of the universe's most mysterious "stuff."
"If our hypothesized dark charge is true, then we believe there could be a significant population of primordial black holes, which would be consistent with other astrophysical observations, and account for all the missing dark matter in the universe."
"These results from the Dark Energy Survey shine new light on our understanding of the universe and its expansion."
"Dark matter can be red hot when it is born, but still have time to cool down before galaxies begin to form."
"This is a structure we've never seen before, so it could be a new class of dark object."
"This is a structure we've never seen before, so it could be a new class of dark object."
"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting stronger and stronger upper limits, so alternative scenarios have to be considered."
