Jupiter as a Dark Matter Detector
Although dark matter makes up over 80% of the total matter content of the Universe, we have yet to detect it. Today’s author’s bring a new approach to the search effort that uses Jupiter as a dark matter detector.

How to Have the Best Time with Atomic Clocks and Millisecond Pulsars
What time is it? For many applications, ranging from GPS navigation to interferometry-based astronomy, answering this question with extreme precision is crucial. To do so, one needs a highly stable clock. Currently, the most stable clocks are atomic clocks, but they are not perfect. Today’s paper presents a method to improve the stability of the time signal from atomic clocks by combining it with the time signal from millisecond pulsars.
New Clues in the CMB Cold (Spot) Case
20 years ago, WMAP discovered the anomalous Cold Spot in the CMB. Researchers have since been puzzling over its existence, but the case of the Cold Spot still remains open. Recently, researchers have proposed a theory that the foregrounds of a galaxy supergroup could be responsible for the Cold Spot. Could these foregrounds really be the culprit?
