A strange light is shining near the center of the Milky Way, and evidence is mounting that it is the spark of lightweight dark matter meeting a violent end. At the same time, a suite of sensitive detectors deep underground is seeing hints of similar particles.

Water trapped deep within the moon's interior came from the same source as water on Earth, a new study reveals. The research suggests that the moon seized a healthy supply of water from Earth when the satellite formed in the aftermath of a cataclysmic collision 4.5 billion...
Pollution is a growing concern here on Earth, but in a nearby star cluster pollution is actually proving pretty useful. Astronomers analyzing Hubble data have found that a pair of white dwarfs — the tiny, final form most of the universe's stars will assume —...
A row of miniature volcanoes exploded last week — on command. Volcanologists detonated explosive charges buried in a meadow in Ashford, N.Y., blowing 12 small craters in the ground and throwing debris 80 meters in the air.
Researchers have created a new mathematical model to describe the complex evolution of foamy bubbles — something that has proved fiendishly difficult to model thanks to the hugely varying length and time scales involved.
