NEW YORK (AP) — A new high-resolution map of distant galaxies may help scientists understand a mysterious invisible substance that helps hold the universe together. The ordinary matter all around us — ...

Astronomers used subtle warps in galaxy shapes to map the invisible forces shaping the universe. By reanalyzing years of telescope images, they studied more than 100 million galaxies across an ...

Schematic of the night sky areas are outlined with contour lines, similar to elevation lines on a hiking map, revealing the “fingerprints” of dark matter. A Rutgers-led team of scientists has ...

Most of the universe cannot be seen with any telescope, and that is not because scientists lack powerful tools. It is because the cosmos is ruled by substances that give off no light at all. Dark ...
