Study Identifies Systematic Instabilities in Quasar Dipole Measurements. New Analysis Challenges "Lopsided Universe" ...

The Cosmic Background Explorer satellite (COBE) went up on a Delta rocket on Nov. 18, 1989, into a polar sun-synchronous ...

In this video, we explore common misconceptions about The Big Bang theory, covering key topics such as: - The Static Universe - Newton's Problem - Einstein's Revolution - Island Universes - The ...

That the universe is expanding has been known for almost a hundred years now, but how fast? The exact rate of that expansion remains hotly debated ...

All the “normal” matter, like the stars, gas, dust, and people, is called baryonic matter, and it’s basically the tiny visible fraction of a universe that’s mostly invisible and still not fully ...

Dark energy is one of those cosmological features that we are still learning about. While we can't see it directly, we can most famously observe its effects on the universe—primarily how it is causing ...

The big bang wasn’t the start of everything, but it has been impossible to see what came before. Now a new kind of cosmology is lifting the veil on the beginning of time ...

It's well established that the universe is expanding, but there's serious disagreement among scientists over how fast it's happening.

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is radiation that fills the universe almost uniformly—basically the leftover glow from ...

Scientists say an ultra-powerful neutrino once thought impossible may be explained by an exotic black hole model involving a so-called “dark charge.” ...

So cosmologists feel confident in modelling the universe using the “maximally symmetric” description of space-time in Einstein’s theory of general relativity. This symmetric vision for the universe, ...

Physicists suggest that a single, extraordinarily powerful cosmic signal detected on Earth could be linked to the explosive end of a tiny black hole from the early universe. That signal now stands as ...
