"This discovery poses a challenge to the Lambda Cold Dark Matter model, which may struggle to account for the formation of such small, aligned groups of galaxies in isolated environments." ...
White dwarfs are the remnants of once-sunlike stars that have burned through their nuclear fuel. These stripped-down cores ...
A study of more than 26,000 white dwarf stars has confirmed a long-predicted but elusive effect in these ultra-dense, dying ...
