The planet's mass and radius indicate that it is a gas giant with a bulk composition similar to that of Jupiter. Unlike Jupiter, but similar to many planets detected around other stars, TrES-2b is located very close to its star and belongs to the class of planets known as hot Jupiters. This system was within the field of view of the Kepler ...
Astronomical searches for gravitational microlensing in the Milky Way found at most only a small fraction of the dark matter may be in dark, compact, conventional objects (MACHOs, etc.); the excluded range of object masses is from half the Earth's mass up to 30 solar masses, which covers nearly all the plausible candidates.
Rotation curve of a typical spiral galaxy: predicted (A) and observed (B). Can the discrepancy between the curves be attributed to dark matter? Galaxy rotation problem: Is dark matter (solely) responsible for differences in observed and theoretical speed of stars revolving around the center of galaxies?
Scientists say they've discovered a new galaxy that's so dark and compact, it's basically invisible. But it's actually been here the whole time. Whoa, Scientists Found the Universe's Invisible Galaxy
Scientists studying the earliest black holes may have found an answer to dark matter, putting Stephen Hawking’s theory on the subject back into the spotlight.
The first class consists of void finders that try to find empty regions of space based on local galaxy density. [28] The second class are those which try to find voids via the geometrical structures in the dark matter distribution as suggested by the galaxies. [29]
Galaxy X [1] [2] is a postulated dark satellite dwarf galaxy of the Milky Way Galaxy. If it exists, it would be composed mostly of dark matter and interstellar gas with few stars . [ 1 ] [ 3 ] Its proposed location is some 90 kpc (290 kly ) from the Sun, [ 1 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] behind the disk of the Milky Way, [ 1 ] and some 12 kpc (39 kly) in ...
No matter your age, there's always something so satisfying about learning new, interesting fun facts. Even better when you get to share those tidbits in conversation. Lull, avoided.
