Read moreResearchers report findings that show that the Moon inherited the indigenous noble gases of helium and neon from Earth's mantle. The discovery adds to the already strong constraints on the currently favoured 'Giant Impact' theory that hypothesizes the Moon was formed by a massive collision between Earth and another celestial body.

Read moreAccording to the standard model of cosmology, the vast majority of galaxies are surrounded by a halo of dark matter particles. This halo is invisible, but its mass exerts a strong gravitational pull on galaxies in the vicinity. A new study challenges this view of the Universe.
