A smooth green floor reflects florescent lights shining above plastic-covered shelving, below a row of vents. Dark matter — an invisible substance that somehow makes up over 80 percent of all matter in the universe — is a phenomenon that frustratingly eludes scientists. Despite being sought after for decades, and […]

Ancient cosmic light that has uniformly filled the universe since around 400,000 years after the Big Bang could act like a treasure map that guides scientists to the secrets of dark matter. The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) refers to the first light to freely travel across the universe. Its journey […]

Stars have been caught crawling around the outskirts of the Milky Way more sluggishly than expected, a slow motion that scientists say can only be explained if our dark matter galaxy map is wrong. Specific Velocities of stars around the edges of galaxies have historically been dead giveaways for the […]
Images created by NASA’s forthcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope may allow scientists to search for dark matter between stars. An international team of researchers believes that gaps present in strings of stars hanging from tightly packed balls of ancient stellar bodies, called globular clusters, could be influenced by dark […]
