Astronomers have spotted what may be one of the most dark matter-dominated galaxies ever found, according to a recent study published in Astrophysical Journal Letters. Most galaxies shine brightly ...
Astronomers have just identified what appears to be a cosmic anomaly: a faint galaxy with so few visible stars that, according to calculations, as much as 99.9 percent of its mass is dark matter. The ...
Scientists using a trio of some of the world’s most powerful observatories, the Hubble Space Telescope, ESA’s Euclid, and the Subaru Telescope, have pulled back the curtain on a ghost galaxy that is ...

In the vast tapestry of the universe, most galaxies shine brightly across cosmic time and space. Yet a rare class of galaxies remains nearly invisible—low-surface-brightness galaxies dominated by dark ...

Lurking in the southwestern corner of Aquarius the Water-bearer, globular cluster M72 doesn’t stand out. At magnitude 9.4, it ranks among the dimmest globulars Charles Messier included in his ...
Using the Magellan Telescopes at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile, astronomers have performed a chemical study of a globular cluster known as ESO 280-SC06. As a result, they found that ESO 280-SC06 ...
