In the vast universe, galaxies rotate in ways that don’t make sense if only visible matter is considered. For almost a century, scientists have tried to explain this by searching for a hidden force ...

Astronomers have stumbled upon yet another ghostly galaxy that appears to be devoid of dark matter, the elusive stuff that ...

Astronomers from MIT have uncovered a dramatic celestial spectacle: a Mercury-sized exoplanet that is rapidly disintegrating ...

A planet 140 light-years from Earth is rapidly coming apart due to its close proximity to its star. The roasting planet is ...

For Hubble’s 35th anniversary, ESA has unveiled breathtaking new images of the star cluster Messier 72, a celestial gem located in Aquarius. Once the very first image featured in the Hubble Picture of ...

When the separation became small enough, the black hole, with its strong gravitational pull, began pulling matter from its companion, wrenching back some of the material its exploded parent star ...

The sum of the two layers is zero. So even though they create a strong gravitational pull, they technically don’t add any measurable mass. “The shells in my paper consist of a thin inner layer ...

More massive terrestrial planets like the Earth have a stronger gravitational pull and therefore can hold onto their atmospheres. For BD+05 4868 Ab, the researchers suspect there is very little ...

These measurements revealed a slow speed among the clusters, a key indicator that the galaxy lacks the strong gravitational pull expected from dark matter, the new study reports. No known scenario ...
