The lens of quantum physics offers a much simpler view of the Big Bang, research suggests.
This new map is not only the most detailed view of the universe’s invisible scaffolding to date, it also allows astronomers to look deeper into cosmic history.
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope in Chile not only confirmed one of the greatest mysteries in the universe—it also ruled out dozens of models that attempted to solve it.
A new study finds that our star system is moving more than three times faster than previous models predicted.
The popular consensus among scientists is that the universe will continue expanding until the bitter end. A team of researchers is now pumping the brakes on that idea.
Einstein was a great thinker who made plenty of mistakes—errors that sometimes led to more meaningful discoveries in physics, long after his passing.
A new interpretation of dark energy data suggests that the mysterious force, which accelerated the early universe's expansion, emerged naturally from black holes.
The ancient behemoth was present just 500 million years after the Big Bang.
A new theory promises to simplify our approach to the universe's earliest moments, but some cosmologists say further mathematical scrutiny is warranted.
In a first, CERN physicists succeeded in observing matter-antimatter imbalance in baryons, fundamental particles that make up most of the observable universe.
Researchers may have found our galaxy's missing companions, further bolstering science's most widely accepted cosmological model.
The powerful merger, designated GW231123, produced an extremely large black hole about 225 times the mass of our Sun.
A new study on the structure of ice formed in space overturns a decades-long consensus in astronomy.
This theory could finally solve one of the biggest mysteries in cosmology.
And they named it Bille.
In just over 10 hours of test observations, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory captured millions of celestial objects, opening the door to a whole new world of astronomical discovery
Gravity may not be a fundamental force of nature, but a byproduct of the universe streamlining information like a cosmic computer.
The end isn’t quite near, though.
A telescope in Chile captured the earliest cosmic time humans have been able to observe so far.
Mysterious little red dots threatened to overhaul modern cosmology—but new research may have solved the celestial conundrum.
