Space is packed with all sorts of weird and unexpected stuff, but this humongous, spinning string-thing raises a whole new ...

If not in visible stars and galaxies, the most likely hiding place for the matter is in the dark space between galaxies.

Cosmic dawn galaxies seen by JWST reveal hidden clues about dark matter and keep rival theories about its true nature alive.

In a glimpse of the early universe, astronomers have observed a galaxy as it appeared just 800 million years after the Big ...

Scientists discover the largest-known rotating cosmic filament, a 50M light-year structure of galaxies, gas and dark matter spinning in space.
