The universe appears to be expanding at a staggering speed, much faster than expected. A recent study reinforces this observation, confirming an expansion that contradicts current ...

In the 1920s, astronomers thought that the Milky Way was the entire universe. Hubble's discovery revealed a much bigger ...

Researchers believe that similar brines might be found on other cosmic bodies such as the dwarf ... zone — meaning it’s at the right distance from its central star to sustain water on its ...

Elementary particles were created. And, eventually, the cosmic flash dance left behind scars in the fabric of space-time. Physicists call them cosmic strings. Like stretch marks left on skin that ...

This new detection at a much farther distance expands the known range of these waves and raises questions about their formation. NASA's four Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites are pictured at ...

(NASA via AP) NEW YORK (AP) — Scientists have detected cosmic waves that sound like birds chirping ... Probes — heard the chirps from Earth’s radiation belts at a closer distance than the newest ...

"The Hubble tension is now a Hubble crisis." The mystery of the Hubble tension has deepened with the startling finding that the Coma Cluster of galaxies is 38 million light-years closer than it should ...

asked Scolnic. So that its results are truly unbiased, DESI builds its own cosmic distance ladder from scratch, rather than relying on previous measurements, with one exception. This is why its ...

Thick disk stars were born in an epoch when the Milky Way was furiously producing stars, a time astronomers call cosmic noon. “It was the most intense period of star formation ever.” ...

"The DESI collaboration did the really hard part, their ladder was missing the first ... per megaparsec – not too far off similar cosmic measures based on how we think stars should glow in the near ...

the team was then able to recalibrate the so-called cosmic distance ladder and arrived at a value of 76.5 km/sec/Mpc for the so-called Hubble constant. This is once again considerably higher than ...
