Astronomers propose that an ultra-dense clump of exotic dark matter could be masquerading as the powerful object thought to ...

What if the Milky Way’s central “black hole” isn’t a black hole at all? A new model proposes that an ultra-dense dark matter core could mimic its gravitational pull.

New research suggests that the heart of the Milky Way may be dominated by a dense clump of dark matter rather than the ...

Our Milky Way galaxy may not have a supermassive black hole at its center but rather an enormous clump of mysterious dark ...

According to their model, this dark matter would naturally form a two-part structure: an extremely dense central core ...
