Gamma-ray observation may provide first direct evidence for dark matter
Wednesday, 26 November 2025 08:07
In the 1930s, astronomer Fritz Zwicky noted that galaxies moved faster than expected for their visible mass, suggesting an unseen matter now known as dark matter. Since then, dark matter remained unobserved except through its gravitational effect on visible matter.
Researchers have targeted areas dense in dark matter to find signals predicted by theoretical models. A leading hypothesis hol NASA's Mars Spacecraft Capture Images of Comet 3I/ATLAS

Two orbiters and a rover captured images of the interstellar object - from the closest location any of the agency's spacecraft may get - that could reveal new details.
At the start of October, three of NASA's Mars spacecraft had front row seats to view 3I/ATLAS, only the third interstellar object so far discovered in our solar system. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) snapped a close-u Researchers use X ray analysis to examine flown European satellite

Empa specialists carried out a comprehensive study of the EURECA European satellite, employing non-destructive X-ray imaging to investigate its internal features after the spacecraft's return from orbit. EURECA, launched in 1992 aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis by Swiss astronaut Claude Nicollier, completed eleven months in orbit before its recovery by Space Shuttle Endeavour and return to Earth in White dwarf magnetic field study reveals inner accretion dynamics
Wednesday, 26 November 2025 08:07
Some 200 light years from Earth, the core of a dead star is circling a larger star in a macabre cosmic dance. The dead star is a type of white dwarf that exerts a powerful magnetic field as it pulls material from the larger star into a swirling, accreting disk. The spiraling pair is what's known as an "intermediate polar" - a type of star system that gives off a complex pattern of intense radiat
