Astronomers propose that an ultra-dense clump of exotic dark matter could be masquerading as the powerful object thought to ...

Scientists hope to probe the nature of general relativity through a possible pulsar found in the center of the Milky Way, ...

New research suggests that the heart of the Milky Way may be dominated by a dense clump of dark matter rather than the ...

Our Milky Way galaxy may not have a supermassive black hole at its center but rather an enormous clump of mysterious dark ...

What if the Milky Way’s central “black hole” isn’t a black hole at all? A new model proposes that an ultra-dense dark matter core could mimic its gravitational pull.

The theory explains the violent dance of stars around the galactic center.

For decades, the motions of stars near the center of our Milky Way Galaxy have been treated as some of the clearest evidence for a supermassive black hole.

There's no denying that something massive lurks at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy, but a new study asks whether a ...

Saul Hernandez, a New Mexico State University senior studying physics and linguistics with a minor in astronomy, has turned ...

Sagittarius A* may be a dense dark matter core instead of a black hole, offering a new explanation for the Milky Way’s central gravity.

The canonical image of a supermassive spacetime abyss anchored at the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A*, is challenged by a radical proposition emerging from an international study published in ...
