A new study suggests the Milky Way’s gamma-ray glow could be a dark matter signal shaped by ancient galactic mergers.

Our Milky Way could have many more satellite galaxies than we've detected so far. They're just too faint to be seen.

"No low-frequency radio image of the entire Southern Galactic Plane has been published before, making this an exciting ...

How do you map something you can’t see? For astronomers studying the Milky Way, the answer lies in radio waves-the very lowest frequencies that slip past the dust and gas obscuring our galaxy’s heart.

New simulations suggest dark matter could explain the mysterious gamma-ray glow at the Milky Way’s center. The findings show that the galaxy’s early mergers may have shaped dark matter in a way that ...

For decades, astronomers have known that stars orbit the Milky Way’s centre and that the galactic disc is warped.

For decades, astronomers have been vying to identify a source for a mysterious gamma-ray excess at the center of the Milky ...

Simulations of magnetic turbulence in the Milky Way enhance understanding of galactic magnetic fields and their influence on ...

TROY, N.Y. – Heidi Jo Newberg, associate professor of physics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Brian Yanny, an astrophysicist at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, who are leading a team ...

For over a decade, a dim but persistent glow near the center of the Milky Way has confused astronomers. This mysterious ...

Standing on Earth and gazing out into the night sky, you’d think our Milky Way galaxy is relatively calm. Most nearby ...

A gamma ray glow at our galaxy’s center has puzzled scientists for almost two decades. New computer simulations back the ...
