For centuries, cartographers have sought to map Earth’s land masses and seas to better understand the world and their place in it. Now, astrophysicists have taken a major step toward doing the same ...

Black holes are so strange that physicists have long wondered if they are quite what they seem. Now we are set to find out if ...

Most cosmologists believe that these stars were the first large, free-floating structures to illuminate our universe, and ...

A panel of physicists and astronomers grapple with possible cracks in our modern creation myth, the standard model of cosmology. JWST’s image of spiral galaxy NGC 628, which is 32 million light-years ...

The Hubble tension just got tenser — with new measurements revealing that the universe is expanding faster than our current ...

The cracks in cosmology were supposed to take a while to appear. But when the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) opened its lens last spring, extremely distant yet very bright galaxies immediately ...

RUDN University astrophysicists have gathered the most important discoveries of modern cosmology from 1917 to our time. The collected data became an introduction to Philosophical Transactions of the ...

For the past few years, a series of controversies have rocked the well-established field of cosmology. In a nutshell, the predictions of the standard model of the universe appear to be at odds with ...

Scientists made a twin version of our universe, showing the evolution of all forms of matter and energy, in the biggest cosmological computer simulation to date. When you purchase through links on our ...

Michael Boylan-Kolchin and others show “early dark energy” might help solve the Hubble Tension and explain why there are more early galaxies than expected. A panel of physicists and astronomers ...

Our best observations can't come up with a single answer for how quickly the universe is expanding. Maybe that's because our galaxy is at the center of a giant void. When you purchase through links on ...
