Dark matter is one of nature's most confounding mysteries. It keeps particle physicists up at night and cosmologists glued to ...

Imagine a star powered not by nuclear fusion, but by one of the universe’s greatest mysteries—dark matter. Scientists have proposed the existence of “dark dwarfs,” strange glowing objects potentially ...

Astronomers posed over the past decade that dark comets, or objects that resemble asteroids but move like comets, may exist. Now, scientists have found a total of 14 of them.

Dark compact objects are a class of dense and invisible structures that could be made up of dark matter, but that have never been directly observed so far.

A new study suggests that up to 60% of near-Earth objects are dark comets, a nearly invisible hybrid object that behaves like a comet and an asteroid at the same time.

Researchers estimate that dark matter makes up around 85% of the universe.But although experts have observed the gravitational effects of dark matter and mapped out where it could be, scientists ...

A strange class of space rock known as a "dark comet" has qualities of both asteroids and comets — and the hard-to-spot objects may pose a larger threat to Earth than we thought, according to ...

The way that this instrument can help understand dark energy is all about the huge volume of data it will collect. It will detect light from more than 40 million objects and build them out into a ...
