The Milky Way has millions of small black holes and one giant supermassive black hole at its center. But does the galaxy have any medium-sized black holes? New research suggests the answer is yes: ...

That dark matter allowed the Milky Way's gas -- i.e. the "normal" matter -- of our galaxy to condense and form stars. SEE ALSO: Scientists uncover a signal sent out by the first stars in the ...

A new study of diffuse dwarf galaxies is challenging the prevailing galaxy formation model within the standard Cold Dark Matter (CDM) framework, leading to a proposed new model of dark matter.

The Milky Way is often referred to as a medium-sized galaxy in the universe, with approximately 200 million stars and a massive black hole at its center, which recently started to shoot in all ...

Here are a few key lines of evidence for dark matter: 1. Galaxy rotation curves When astronomers measure how fast stars orbit the centers of galaxies, they find something strange. The stars at the ...
