Shocking’ results from a major astronomical study have raised doubts about the standard model of cosmology, forcing ...

All but one of Andromeda's satellite galaxies were found to be pointing right at us. According to our best models, that shouldn't be the case at all.

When cosmologists used different ways to measure the value of sigma 8, a number that denotes how clumpy the universe is, they ...

The Andromeda Galaxy's family of dwarfs are an enigma. First it was the unusual flat plane around which more than half of them orbit, and now this lopsidedness. It just goes to show that sometimes it ...
