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

Odd bursts, shifting expansion rates, and oversized early galaxies are pushing astronomers to refine physics, not rewrite it, ...

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

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 ...

Discover seven unusual galaxies defying scientific predictions, from impossibly bright early universe objects to astrophysics ...

"It highlights gravity's possible hidden complexity and invites a reevaluation of where dark matter effects originate." ...

Incredible new findings suggest that the two of the least understood components of the universe interact with each other. The research offers a rare window into the deepest mysteries of the universe.

It’s kind of a pity that the human eye is limited in sight. That especially goes for those of us who wear glasses. I remember the first time I tried to use my telescope with my ocular enhancements ...

You can’t see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us. They come from cosmic rays — high-energy particles that can originate from exploding ...

ABSTRACT: The cosmic microwave background is often taken as definitive evidence for universal expansion. No static framework has yet reproduced its exact blackbody spectrum under known physical ...

In 2015, a piece of equipment at an observatory in the US moved one quintillionth (10-18) of a meter. This tiny movement was the first recorded event of gravitational waves. And it helped confirm ...
