The early Universe hosted ultra-weak magnetic fields that still shaped cosmic structures. New simulations establish stricter limits on their strength. Magnetic fields that originated during the earlie ...

The largest known structure in the Universe may be even larger than the large we thought it was. A re-examination of the distribution of powerful space explosions suggests that the Hercules-Corona ...

The small but ubiquitous proton serves as a foundation for the bulk of the visible matter in the universe. It abides at the ...

New computer simulations suggest the first magnetic fields that emerged after the Big Bang were much weaker than expected — ...

A new cosmic map reveals the "Big Ring,” a ring of colossal galaxies that challenges our current understanding of the universe.

Recently, the field of astronomy has been shaken by shocking news: scientists, through the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, have ...

Dr. Sukanya Chakrabarti, the Pei-Ling Chan Endowed Chair in the College of Science at The University of Alabama in Huntsville ...

Mapping the distribution of matter in the universe is an important quest for cosmology and astrophysics. There is a battle going on between the universe's accelerated expansion and gravity trying to ...

In 1925, Edwin Hubble's observation of Cepheid variables in the Andromeda galaxy revolutionized astronomy, proving the ...

A new AI-powered method is changing how scientists measure the universe. Developed by researchers at the Flatiron Institute and their partners, this technique offers a far more accurate way to ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations of the early universe have unveiled a perplexing mystery: the rotation directions of most galaxies appear to be the same. Researchers from Kansas ...

New observations from the MeerKAT radio survey suggest our estimates of the cosmic dipole effect are actually in line with ...
