Cosmologists are finally beginning to sketch a coherent picture of the universe we cannot see, using exquisitely detailed ...

The James Webb Space Telescope recently detected unusual objects in the Universe. These entities, which could be "dark stars, ...

In the leading model of cosmology, most of the universe is invisible: a combined 95% is made of dark matter and dark energy.

An artist’s concept of the dark energy-driven accelerating expansion of the universe. New results suggest dark energy’s influence on cosmic expansion has weakened over time. In 2024 a shockwave ...

NASA’s Roman Space Telescope will study thousands of cosmic voids, mapping galaxy distributions to investigate dark matter, dark energy and the universe’s large-scale structure through precise ...

Recent observational breakthroughs are beginning to challenge the long-standing view of dark energy as unchanging. Data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument ( DESI ), an advanced survey ...

A new theory claims dark matter and dark energy don’t exist — they’re just side effects of the universe’s changing forces. By rethinking gravity and cosmic timelines, it could rewrite our ...

In smaller dark stars, when their dark matter runs out, normal nuclear fusion can begin, and they gradually become normal ...

Explore the debate surrounding a potential dark matter discovery, highlighting skepticism and the need for rigorous ...

In the search to understand how the universe came to be, a new theory is rewriting the script. Instead of one massive, fiery birth like the Big Bang, this idea suggests the cosmos has been growing in ...

Dark matter is a real pain in the neck. The term dark matter itself refers to a hypothetical substance that seems to solely interact with the rest of the universe via gravity and to serve as the ...

By studying faint distortions in galaxy shapes across a vast region of sky, scientists probed the hidden structure of the universe. In the standard picture of the universe, nearly everything is hidden ...
