Scientists from the University of Durham may have solved a decades-old puzzle regarding the distribution of the eleven small satellite galaxies that surround the Milky Way. The Milky Way is not alone.

In cosmology, questions about conditions before the Big Bang are often dismissed as unscientific or unanswerable. However, a recent paper in Living Reviews in Relativity by Eugene Lim from King’s ...

The U.S. National Science Foundation and Simons Foundation have selected a group of institutions, including Argonne, to receive funding to establish an AI and astronomy institute called the NSF-Simons ...

The dark matter distribution of a Milky Way mass halo in a Lambda-cold dark matter (LCDM) cosmological simulation. This is the highest resolution simulation of a MW-mass dark matter halo ever ...

A new computational breakthrough is giving scientists a clearer view into how dark matter structures evolve. Dark matter has remained one of the biggest mysteries in cosmology for almost a hundred ...

A new computational method gleans more information than its predecessors from maps showing how galaxies are clustered and threaded throughout the universe. Research led by the University of Michigan ...
