Astronomers have captured the clearest-ever close-up images of two exploding stars, events known as novae, within days of their eruption. These detailed images show that such explosions are far more ...
Dark matter, if it exists, is probably in the latter category. If hypothetical weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are real, their collisions with regular matter may have left fossil traces ...
