The universe is expanding, but astronomers still cannot agree on exactly how fast. That mismatch, known as the Hubble tension ...

Sure, they're not your typical baby pictures. But a global team of researchers says new images published this week show some of the clearest visualizations yet of the universe in its infancy. If our ...

In the grand puzzle of the cosmos, one question continues to defy easy answers: how fast is the universe expanding? Astronomers have tried two main methods to figure it out, but their numbers don’t ...

Scientists have released a new study that catalogues the universe by mapping huge clusters of galaxies. These clusters are some of the largest known objects in the universe — and they can help ...

The largest-ever three-dimensional map of the cosmos, plotting out some 15 million celestial objects, could help reveal the ultimate fate of the universe. Astrophysicists know that the universe is ...

Knotted structures once imagined by Lord Kelvin may actually have shaped the universe’s earliest moments, according to new ...

"We already see indications of cracks in the standard model." Are we living in a simulation? Well, the jury's out on that one. But humans do create simulations all the time. In fact, the Euclid ...

New research by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) collaboration has produced the clearest images yet of the universe's infancy—the earliest cosmic time yet accessible to humans. Measuring light ...
