Dark energy, the mysterious phenomenon that powers the expansion of the universe, may undergo periodic 'violent transitions' ...

The James Webb Space Telescope found 66% of early galaxies rotate clockwise, suggesting a preferred direction in the universe ...

A new study looking at observations by the JWST of the early universe has thrown up a new and intriguing mystery; the majority of galaxies appear to be rotating in the same direction. This finding, ...

With far more data, calculations could be performed using a method known as the cosmological distance ladder, known also as the late universe model. This involves a sequence of calculations ...

Explosions in the sky and explosions on land are literally worlds apart. A supernova and a land mine explosion don't seem ...

Precise knowledge of these structures is very important for cosmological research and the main motivation for mapping the nearby Universe. “If you look at the distribution of the galaxy clusters in ...

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding ...

Previous efforts to map the galaxy's dust were challenged by limited data, but the Gaia mission has provided a treasure trove ...

And more is on the way. Alpha Centauri is currently 4.37 light-years from Earth, a relatively close distance from a cosmological perspective. Our nosy neighbor happens to be a triple star system ...

JWST images reveal galaxy rotation patterns that challenge the Big Bang model. Could the universe be spinning?

Black hole singularities should not exist, according to theories of quantum mechanics. New tweaks to Einstein's equations of ...

By combining this distance information with the redshift ... The dataset's precision and size make it a goldmine for testing cosmological models. Its detailed records of brightness and redshift ...
