A new analysis of astronomical data suggests unknown physics is at work assisting dark energy in acting almost as ...

Elusive black hole radiation predicted by Stephen Hawking may have influenced the way the universe took shape after the Big ...

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) collaboration, which includes researchers from the University of Toronto, recently ...

DESI's first dataset maps 18.7 million celestial objects, aiding dark energy, galaxy, and universe expansion studies.

The largest-ever three-dimensional map of the cosmos, plotting out some 15 million celestial objects, could help reveal the ...

Euclid, which is now hovering 1.5 million kilometres from Earth, has previously released images of a range of strange galaxies, colourful nebulas and shining stars. But the first release of ...

University of Arizona researchers are among a group of scientists who hope to discover what happened immediately after the Big Bang, when the universe expanded in a fraction of a ...

Missions like the Gaia Project seek to map the three-dimensional structure of the Milky Way and even the visible Universe. And observatories like the James Webb Space Telescope can resolve tiny ...

New data further challenge the best scientific theory of the history and the structure of the universe. But a separate recent result reinforces it. Using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument ...

Cosmic microwave background data support cosmology’s standard model but retain a mystery about the universe’s expansion rate.

Yet the early data already offers hints about the overall structure of the universe known as the "cosmic web," project scientist Valeria Pettorino said. Between large empty spaces, there are ...
