Dark Matter Acts Surprisingly Normal in a New Cosmic Test
Introduction: A century-old mystery tested anew For decades, scientists have searched for how dark matter, the unseen backbone of the cosmos, fits within the familiar suite of forces that govern ordinary matter. Gravity is the only force clearly required to explain its gravitational pull. The question has long been whether dark matter might also feel…

Dark matter acts surprisingly normal in a new cosmic test
Introduction: A surprising alignment with the known forces For decades, scientists have wrestled with the question of whether dark matter—an invisible substance that makes up most of the matter in the universe—responds to the same fundamental forces as ordinary matter. The traditional view has been simple: dark matter interacts primarily through gravity, with little to…

Million-Sun-Mass Dark Object Detected by Gravitational Lensing
A New Dark Corner of the Cosmos In a landmark finding, astronomers have identified a mysterious object weighing about one million times the Sun’s mass. This invisible entity gives off no light or detectable radiation, yet its presence was discerned through a subtle but revealing effect: gravitational lensing. As light from a distant source passed…

A million-sun-mass mystery object reveals dark matter’s hidden clumps
Unseen yet influential: a newly discovered million-sun-mass object Astronomers have identified a mysterious object in deep space that weighs about one million times the mass of the Sun. The object emits no light and shows no detectable radiation, making it invisible through direct observation. Its existence became clear only through its powerful gravitational influence on…
