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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A $4 million grant from the John Templeton Foundation enables a team of scholars from USC, the University of California, ...

Modern cosmology reveals a universe expanding uniformly without a spatial center or edge. The Big Bang wasn't a localized ...

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 ...

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 ...
