Over a decade ago, the Fermi satellite detected an excess of gamma-ray emissions in the galactic center. Potential explanations included Sgr. A*, the Milky Way’s SMBH, pulsars, and even self-annihilating dark matter. There’s no clear answer yet, since the region is so difficult to observe. But recent research shows that dark matter can’t be ruled out.

Stephan’s Quintet contains the most well-studied compact galaxy group. Japanese researchers have mapped star forming gas in the Quintet, along with its turbulence. The results show that the Quintet is an evolved group of interacting galaxies where gas struggles to settle down and form stars. Even where gas is concentrated, turbulence from interactions throttles star formation.

A New Mission Could Rendezvous With Halley’s Comet In 2061

by Andy Tomaswick (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/andy-tomaswick) on September 8, 2026 at 12:41 pm

Halley’s comet captures the imagination in a way that few other astronomical objects do. When it last made its approach toward the Sun (admittedly when this author, who is now middle-aged, was one year old in 1986), humanity responded with a fleet of spacecraft known informally as the “Halley Armada”.
