Spring is galaxy season. If you have a small telescope, this is a good time of year to get it out to find galaxies in the sky. Because most will appear as dim fuzzy blobs, a detailed star chart is ...

Extra stellar systems are so far away from our own that we couldn’t even hope of developing a tape measure long enough to determine how far away they really are. On the other hand, astronomers can ...

Pasadena, CA — Ohio State University researchers have found a way to measure distances to objects three times farther away in outer space than previously possible, by extending a common measurement ...

The cosmic distance ladder employs a series of methods to measure increasingly vast astronomical distances, with each technique building upon the previous one for verification. Parallax, using stellar ...

Physicists have improved the accuracy of a technique that uses variable stars to measure distances in the universe, providing a new figure for its expansion rate. When you purchase through links on ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope spotted a blazing heat from a bright, lonely spiral galaxy called UGC 9391. But even though it lacks a companion, it serves as a guiding light for every astronomer who is ...

A free public lecture 7 p.m. Thursday at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, Timberdell Road and Chautauqua Avenue, will provide information about how scientists calculate astronomical ...

Recent announcements from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) team have shown galaxies in the very early universe are far more advanced, mature, and evolved than they ought to be. But that might be ...

What is the nature of dark energy, a recently discovered dominant constituent of the Universe today? Is expansion-accelerating dark energy an intrinsic property of space-time itself or rather a field ...
