Astronomers discover a low-mass dark object through gravitational lensing and multiple radiotelescopes across Earth.

A team of astronomers have found a mysterious object in the distant universe that could be dark matter or an inactive smaller ...

Scientists using a global array of radio telescopes have detected the universe’s lowest-mass dark object by observing how it ...

Astronomers have detected one of the darkest objects ever seen at a record cosmic distance—only with the assistance of ...

The mysterious cosmic object has the lowest mass of any dark object discovered via gravitational lensing with a global telescope network. Moving forward, the team believes their methods could help ...

When a star is young, it is often still surrounded by a primordial rotating disk of gas and dust, from which planets can form. Astronomers like to find such disks because they might be able to catch ...

How do rogue planetary-mass objects -- celestial bodies with masses between stars and planets -- form? An international team of astronomers has used advanced simulations to show that these enigmatic ...

Dark matter is an enigmatic form of matter not expected to emit light, yet it is essential to understanding how the rich ...

An object spotted with help of citizen scientists was moving so fast through the Milky Way that it could escape the gravity of the galaxy and reach intergalactic space, new research has found. Likely ...

This one-million-year-old star-forming region contains thousands of new stars and hundreds of planetary mass objects floating freely in the nebula, not orbiting stars. A groundbreaking study published ...

Using NASA’s Swift and Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) satellites, astronomers have discovered one of the most bizarre planet-mass objects ever found. The object’s minimum mass is only about 7 ...

The interstellar object dubbed 3I/ATLAS has been fascinating astronomers since its discovery in early July. The object, generally believed to be a comet, is screaming through the solar system at ...
