Astronomers have confirmed the earliest barred spiral galaxy in the universe, a Milky-Way-like structure that existed just 2 ...

Dark matter, the invisible substance that shapes the Universe, may have had a far more dramatic beginning than scientists once believed.

Researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and Université Paris-Saclay have reopened one of cosmology’s oldest ...

This study could transform our understanding of the future of the universe and raise the possibility that the universe may one day contract instead of expanding infinitely.

A small group of young researchers at the Cosmic Dawn Center, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have, through ...

Cosmologists have long treated black holes and the Big Bang as separate extremes of physics, one swallowing light, the other birthing space and time. A provocative line of research now suggests those ...

Led by Zhou, an international team used the ultra-sensitive Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to probe the ...

New research suggests the universe may be lopsided. Cosmic microwave background and galaxy data hint at directional differences, challenging cosmology’s assumption of uniformity and standard ...

NASA’s SPHEREx telescope has combined 100+ infrared maps into the universe’s first all-sky cosmic atlas, revealing galaxies, interstellar clouds, and cosmic inflation patterns never seen before.

The mysteries surrounding the origins of the universe have long intrigued scientists and philosophers alike. New research, published in the Living Reviews in Relativity, introduces an innovative ...
