On a clear night, the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy look like close neighbors. In space, they really are. Andromeda is even heading your way at about 100 kilometers per second. Now astronomers at ...

Only about 5% of the universe is composed of normal matter that we can directly observe, while the remaining 95% is widely ...

This may be remembered as one of the more important physics images of this generation. Credit: Tomonori Totani, The University of Tokyo Physicists from Japan's University of Tokyo have published a new ...

A puzzling ultraviolet light seen across the Milky Way could come from the destruction of nuggets of dark matter, the mysterious stuff that makes up around a quarter of the matter and energy in the ...
