The South Pole Telescope has released its most precise image yet of the universe’s first light—the cosmic microwave background. This new ground-based data confirms cosmic expansion anomalies and ...

The Tian Ma Radio Telescope (TMRT) is the largest fully steerable radio telescope in Asia. It has a primary reflector of 65-m in diameter with a shaped Cassegrain configuration and is mainly used for ...

The slower growth of gravitational wells and the accelerating expansion might share the same underlying cause.” In so many ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in ...

For the first time, researchers have seen how light behaves during a mysterious phenomenon called 'imaginary time'.

From Vedic hymns to stone observatories, how ancient India mapped the cosmos, decoded time, and laid the foundations of modern astronomical thought ...

A numerical method is described for the solution of the electromagnetic fields within an arbitrary dielectric scatterer of the order of one wavelength in diameter. The method treats the irradiation of ...

It too will remain operational for five years, overlapping its observation time with the one of the telescopes already in position, and greatly expanding the scope of our Moon observations.

By studying how the first stars and their remnants affected this signal, called the 21-centimetre signal, the researchers have shown that future radio telescopes will help us understand the very ...

For the first time, scientists have used ground-based telescopes to look back more than 13 billion years and observe how the universe’s first stars affected ancient light left over from the Big ...

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile houses the world's most powerful survey telescope with the largest digital camera ever built by humans, and it is about to drop its first pictures. The US ...

When we were kids, it was a rite of passage to read the newly arrived Edmund catalog and dream of building our own telescope. One of our friends lived near a University, and they even had a summer … ...
