The team's findings, which were published Monday in the journal Nature, also unveil a method of investigating dark matter, which remains one of the universe's greatest mysteries, study co-author ...
The Webb telescope's historic discovery will allow astronomers going forward to investigate "one of the universe's greatest mysteries — dark matter," according to the Center for Astrophysics.
Dark matter may have played a role in the formation of the bars. The discovery also suggests that bars can be detected in early galaxies, despite the fact that the oldest galaxies are much smaller.
In astronomy, dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that does not interact with light or other electromagnetic radiation.Dark matter is implied by gravitational effects which cannot be explained by general relativity unless more matter is present than can be observed.
Searches for the products of dark matter interactions are profitable because there is an extensive amount of dark matter present in the universe, and presumably, a lot of dark matter interactions and products of those interactions (which are the focus of indirect detection searches); and many currently operational telescopes can be used to ...
In an approach known as multi-messenger astronomy, gravitational wave data is combined with data from other wavelengths to get a more complete picture of astrophysical phenomena. Gravitational wave astronomy helps understand the early universe, test theories of gravity, and reveal the distribution of dark matter and dark energy.
One mystery of dark matter is that it makes up the vast majority of all the matter in the Universe, yet we know surprisingly little about it. A new study, based on observations of distant galaxy ...
A MAssive Compact Halo Object (MACHO) is a kind of astronomical body that might explain the apparent presence of dark matter in galactic halos. A MACHO is a body that emits little or no radiation and drifts through interstellar space unassociated with any planetary system (and may or may not be composed of normal baryonic matter). Since MACHOs ...
