New Revolutionary Theory of Dark Matter

  The Universe abounds with dark matter. Nobody knows what it consists of. Physicists from the University of Oslo have now launched a very hard mathematical explanation that could solve the mystery once and for all. SIGNS OF DARK MATTER: The image shows all the gamma rays recorded by the Fermi-LAT space probe as a map [continue reading]

Blazars Still Mysterious Cosmic Objects

  A blazar is a galaxy with an intensely bright central nucleus containing a supermassive black hole, much like a quasar. The difference is that a blazar can emit light with extremely high energy gamma rays that are sometimes over a hundred million times more energetic than the highest energy X-rays that the Chandra X-ray [continue reading]

Evidence of Dark Matter Found?

  Gamma-ray photons seen emanating from the center of the Milky Way galaxy are consistent with the intriguing possibility that dark-matter particles are annihilating each other in space, according to research submitted by UC Irvine astrophysicists to the American Physical Society journal Physical Review D. 360-degree panorama view of the Milky Way Galaxy (an assembled [continue reading]
