Galaxies located at cosmic web “nodes” assemble dark matter earlier, and are more enriched with heavy elements, compared with those that are further away.
A Vast ‘Faint Universe’ of Rogue Stars Is Revealing Dark Matter
Stars that have been kicked out of their galaxies preserve a cosmic “fossil record,” according to a new study.
Mysterious Expanding Regions of Dark Matter May Challenge Established Physics
Observations of galaxies up to seven billion light-years away revealed a potential conflict with the standard model of cosmology.
A Common Feature of Galaxies Is Challenging What We Know About the Universe
A new study has "cast serious doubt" on a ubiquitous galactic feature that may require exotic physics to explain.
