On a clear night, the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy look like close neighbors. In space, they really are.

Computer simulations carried out by astronomers from the University of Groningen in collaboration with researchers from ...

A series of high-resolution simulations has revealed a striking new perspective on theMilky Way’s position in the cosmos. Far ...

Galaxies are far more than the sum of their stars. Long before stars even formed, dark matter clumped up and drew regular matter together with its gravity, providing the invisible scaffolding upon ...

The Milky Way — and in fact our entire galactic neighborhood known as the Local Group — appear to be lodged in a vast, ...

A new simulation tool lets scientists explore whether self-interacting dark matter could reshape galaxies from the inside out ...

Astronomers have uncovered evidence that the Milky Way is not drifting through space alone but is embedded in a vast, flat structure of dark matter stretching tens of millions of light-years. The ...

It’s an open secret in astronomy that, practically wherever the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) looks in the sky, a vast, ...

For many years, scientists have tried to understand how the Milky Way is positioned in space, and how it moves together with ...

Scientists have built detailed Milky Way simulations under strange new physical laws to probe dark matter, revealing how different versions of the universe might behave and helping us get closer to ...

In this visualization, each dot represents a gas parcel with a mass approximately 1,000 times that of the Sun in the simulation of the cosmic Dark Ages. The left and right panels compare the cold and ...

This is interesting of course, but the article suffers from problems. Besides the missing article link, the linked spiral arm dynamical mass excess observations are not explained by dark matter as it ...
