The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible,” Albert Einstein once pondered. But even as ...

We measure the extremely long distances between things in space by light years. A light year is the distance that light travels in one Earth year. Light travels at about 300,000 kilometres per second.

Gravity can exist without mass.” It’s a statement that upends a century of astrophysical dogma and, for some, sounds as plausible as finding a unicorn in a particle accelerator. But in a series of ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) In the Big Bang Theory, the cosmic microwave background — microwave-range radiation that floats through the entire universe at a steady 2.7 Kelvin — is evidence that a hot ...

For one, scientists observe a "cosmic fossil" called the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The first light that was free to ...

The debut images from a powerful telescope at Chile's Vera Rubin Observatory show distant galaxies and star-forming regions in spectacular detail.

Astronomers have taken an unprecedentedly detailed look at the tendrils and filaments that wrap around supermassive black hole-dominated galaxies of Abell 2255.

A new observatory in Chile has produced a stunningly detailed image of a nebula resembling cotton candy, using the largest telescope in the world.

Stargazers can see the universe like never before when the new Vera C. Rubin Observatory unveils its first images from the largest camera ever built.

Combining the Standard Model of cosmology with the rigid constraints enforced by observations of cosmic microwave background radiation tells us that structures including stars, black holes, and gas ...
