A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize ...

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument spent five years observing the sky from Arizona. Now, researchers have a trove of ...

Astronomers have finally cracked one of the biggest cosmic mysteries — those strange red dots glowing in deep space. For ...

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has completed its originally planned five-year mission and mapped more than ...

A spectacular cosmic event nicknamed “SN Winny” could help solve one of astronomy’s biggest mysteries: how fast the universe is expanding. This rare superluminous supernova, located 10 billion ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: However, nailing down the universe’s exact expansion rate (known as the Hubble constant, or H₀) hasn’t been easy. Today scientists rely on two ...

Now physicists from the University of Washington are taking a big swing at answering that question. All matter exerts gravitational force. The more mass the object has, the greater the force. Yet, a ...

The Universe’s biggest black holes may not be born giants after all. Scientists analyzing gravitational-wave signals from dozens of black hole collisions found evidence that the heaviest black holes ...

The universe has a hidden structure, and a University of Virginia professor is mapping it in 3D, using 46 million galaxies and quasars and 19 million stars. Satya Gontcho A Gontcho, an assistant ...

Just 100 short years ago, we hadn’t even discovered the expanding Universe, much less constructed a picture of our hot, dense cosmic origins. Over the 20th and 21st centuries, we pieced together the ...

Physicists have long assumed that the universe is uniform at very large scales, but evidence is emerging this is wrong and ...
