For decades, the prevailing view has been that dark energy causes the universe’s expansion to accelerate indefinitely, potentially ending in a scenario known as the “Big Rip,” in which galaxies, stars ...

The idea that the universe itself might be intelligent sounds like science fiction, yet a growing group of researchers is ...

The universe has no brain. It has no gray matter, no nervous system, no neurons firing electrical impulses—and yet, that ...

The James Webb Space Telescope blasted off from a launchpad in French Guiana in 2021, before reaching a spot in orbit a million miles away. It soon began breaking cosmology.

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 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 ...

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 idea of a mirror universe is a common trope in science fiction. A world is similar to ours where we might find our evil doppelganger or a version of us who actually asked out our high school crush ...

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

JWST detects supernova from 730M years after Big Bang, offering rare glimpse of stars in early universe. The event offers scientists a rare glimpse into the final moments of massive stars.
