A Nearby Supernova May End Dark Matter Search, Claims New Study
A supernova within the Milky Way could revolutionise dark matter research by producing gamma rays from axions, elusive particles theorised to exist during a star's core collapse. Scientists at UC Berkeley are calling for gamma-ray telescopes to monitor the sky, ensuring readiness for the next nearby supernova. Such an event could confirm the axion'...

Black Holes Explosions Driven by Hawking Radiation May Unveil New Physics
Primordial black holes, potentially formed shortly after the Big Bang, may be undergoing explosions across the universe, driven by Hawking radiation. Physicists believe that capturing these rare events could reveal undiscovered particles and fundamental physics. Dr. Marco Calzà and Dr. João G. Rosa from the University of Coimbra have proposed way...

Asteroid Bennu Examines Potential Fifth Force and Dark Matter Connection
Research on asteroid Bennu reveals no evidence of a potential fifth force that could explain dark matter. NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission tracked Bennu’s orbit with exceptional accuracy, allowing scientists to examine for subtle deviations. This study provides insight into the unknown forces in the universe and suggests that further investigation of ...

Euclid Space Telescope Unveils First Images of Its Cosmic Atlas
The first stunning images from the European Space Agency's Euclid telescope reveal a mosaic of over 14 million galaxies, marking just 1% of its cosmic atlas. Captured over two weeks, this vast collection aims to enhance our understanding of dark matter and dark energy, contributing to the largest and most accurate map of the universe yet. The teles...

Mars’ Orbit Wobble Could Hint at the Presence of Dark Matter Emitting from Primordial Black Holes
MIT physicists have proposed that Mars' orbit might wobble due to the presence of primordial black holes, which could be a major source of dark matter in the universe. This theory builds on the idea that such black holes, formed just after the Big Bang, pass through our solar system and cause a gravitational effect detectable by current technology....

Ancient Black Holes Might Be Passing Through Our Solar System Frequently, Study Claims
Primordial black holes, which may have formed shortly after the Big Bang, could pass through the solar system once per decade. These black holes are much lighter and smaller than typical black holes, yet their gravitational effects may help scientists uncover the mystery of dark matter. Detecting gravitational disruptions from these flybys might be...

NASA Roman Space Telescope to Investigate Galactic Fossils and Dark Matter in 2027
NASA’s Roman Space Telescope, set to launch in 2027, will explore ancient galaxies and investigate dark matter. With its wide field of view and high-resolution imaging, the telescope will study galactic fossils—groups of ancient stars that hold clues about galaxy formation. Dr. Robyn Sanderson, deputy principal investigator at the University of...
