Astronomers using the Chandra X-ray Telescope have discovered an "exhaust vent attached to a “chimney” of hot gas blowing away from the center of the Milky Way galaxy," according to the Chandra team.

They have refined the estimate of the black hole mass, ruling out the possibility of it being a neutron star. It is thought ...

A blob of gas seen outside the Milky Way could be a type of starless, dark matter–dominated galaxy. Some scientists are skeptical.

The rotating disk galaxy, mostly made up of dark matter, was discovered within a larger cloud of fast-moving hydrogen gas.

The fast-moving gas cloud could help explain the so-called missing satellite problem, if the object is what scientists think ...

Back when the Universe was new, following the Big Bang some 13.8 billion years ago, galaxies took a bit of time to assemble ...
