A mysterious gamma-ray glow from the Milky Way's core has scientists divided. While pulsars were the leading theory, new ...

At the heart of the Milky Way, a faint and widespread glow of gamma rays has puzzled astronomers for decades. The light could ...

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 ...

Some astronomers believe the source of the glow to be pulsars — the spinning leftovers of exploded stars — while others point ...

"It's possible we will see the new data and confirm one theory over the other — or maybe we'll find nothing, in which case it ...

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

Scientists recreated the Milky Way’s history using supercomputers to track where dark matter should collect and collide.

Stronger links between researchers who work on Earth’s and other planets’ atmospheres, and between the experimental, ...

Below the waves of the Mediterranean, Europe's KM3NeT neutrino telescope is on a cosmic hunt. Towering strings of sensors ...

The study notes that if excess gamma light is not from dying stars, it could become the first proof that dark matter exists.

A mysterious glow has been detected in the Milky Way, challenging our understanding of cosmic emissions and hinting at the ...
