Dark Matter Could Be Hiding Out as Atom-Sized Black Holes
The universe’s hidden mass may be made of black holes, which could wobble the planets of the solar system when they pass by
Tiny Primordial Black Holes Could Explain Dark Matter
A new paper explores the idea of asteroid-sized objects that may be causing gravitational ripples in our cosmic neighborhood.
Are tiny black holes zipping through our solar system? Scientists hope to find out
Scientists say microscopic black holes could explain the elusive "dark matter" that makes up a quarter of all matter in the universe. But can it be proven?
Could we find primordial black holes in the solar system?
Astronomers have observed three types of black holes in the universe. Stellar-mass black holes formed from the collapse of a massive star, intermediate mass black holes found in some star clusters, and supermassive black holes that lurk in the centers of galaxies.
Scientists Suggest Tiny Black Holes Are Regularly Cruising Through Our Star System
Researchers at MIT suggest that the microscopic "primordial black holes" could be blasting through our solar system at least once every ten years. These tiny black holes could be extremely dense, they suggest,
Dark matter may be behind wobble in Mars’ orbit, study suggests
A bold new study in Physical Review suggests that a wobble detected in Mars' orbit could be the result of dark matter made up of primordial black holes.
