A new way to study 3D maps of galaxies in the cosmos without compressing the data is revealing new information about the dark ...

A cosmic filament, 3 million light-years long, has been directly imaged for the first time — offering a new glimpse into the ...

One reason it is hard to learn the geography of the local universe is that it is 3-D. A map, as a 2-D object, is easy to spread out on a table so you can learn 2-D relationships between places.

Scientists have created another massive 3D map of the universe, and this time, it can change what we thought we knew about dark energy. Rather than remaining constant throughout time, dark energy ...

Scientists have constructed the largest 3-D map of our universe to date, and it's come with a couple of interesting surprises. "So far, we're seeing basic agreement with our best model of the ...

A sacred city in Sri Lanka holds an ancient carving believed to be the world's oldest map or an ancient stargate revealing the secrets of the Universe. Sakwala Chakraya is an ancient carving ...

An international team of astronomers has captured the most detailed image ever of a cosmic filament, a vast structure of gas ...

The device's mission will end after 2 1/2 years and is expected to help complete the first infrared 3D map of the universe. Using the telescope, researchers plan to confirm the distribution of water ...

Hidden information in maps of galaxies spread across the universe could soon come forth, thanks to a new way of interrogating the data that preserves the three-dimensional nature of these maps.
