"The cosmic dipole anomaly has thus established itself as a major challenge to the standard cosmological model, even if the ...

The shape of the universe is not something we often think about. But my colleagues and I have published a new study suggests ...

If true (and it’s a pretty big “if”), Vopson’s new gravitational study would shake the foundations of the currently accepted view of the universe. In his paper, Vopson writes that his new work could ...

Another batch of the ‘impossible’ galaxies turned out not to be standard galaxies at all, but a new type of object that ...

The universe has no brain. It has no gray matter, no nervous system, no neurons firing electrical impulses—and yet, that physical structure may not be where intelligence and consciousness actually ...

By studying tiny distortions in the shapes of distant galaxies, scientists mapped dark matter and dark energy across one of the largest sky surveys ever assembled. Their results back the standard ...

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope in Chile has released its final batch of data after 15 years — and it proves that the Hubble ...

“Our latest discovery helps solve a 20-year cosmic mystery,” co-lead author Daniel Whalen from the University of Portsmouth's ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope report that a powerful gamma-ray burst detected in March may have been produced by the explosion of a massive star just 730 million years after the Big ...

For decades, astronomers have been trying to nail down the value of the Hubble constant—a measure of how fast the universe is expanding. But some cosmologists say there’s evidence that the universe is ...

The universe’s expansion might not be accelerating but slowing down, a new study suggests. If confirmed, the finding would upend decades of established astronomical assumptions and rewrite our ...

In the first fractions of a second after the Big Bang, the universe ballooned outward at a speed that still defies explanation, stretching space itself before stars or even atoms had a chance to form.
