The standard cosmological model known as LambdaCDM can only explain 5% of the observable Universe. The remaining 95% is famously made up almost entirely...
Astronomers believe that our Universe began forming the first stars when it was a few hundred million years old. Since then, the Universe has become a...
Astronomers using ESO’s Very Large Telescope have observed an elaborate serpentine system sculpted by colliding stellar winds. The object, called 2XMM...
WISE J224607.55-052634.9 (W2246-0526 for short), the most luminous galaxy ever discovered, is accreting (eating) at least three of its smaller neighbors,...
SDSS J0915+3826, a giant group of galaxies located approximately 4 billion light-years away, is so massive that its gravity bends light like a lens, making...
Physicists from the Advanced Cold Molecule Electron Electric Dipole Moment (ACME) Collaboration have examined the shape of an electron’s charge with...
Astronomers using ESO’s Very Large Telescope have spotted a gigantic galaxy proto-supercluster in the early Universe, just 2.3 billion years after the...
Physicists from the ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) Collaboration at CERN have gained new insights into the properties of the quark-gluon plasma,...
For the first time, a new computer simulation that incorporates the physical effects of Einstein’s general theory of relativity shows that gas in supermassive...
Astronomers using the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope have discovered an unexpected abundance of Lyman-alpha...
An international team of researchers from McGill University, California Institute of Technology and Indiana University has calculated the strength of nuclear...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have captured a spectacular image of Abell 370, a massive galaxy cluster embedded among nearly thousands...
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have detected a powerful ‘wind’ in SPT-S J231921-5557.9 (SPT2319-55 for short),...
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), a team of astronomers revealed that molecular clouds in a galaxy called AzTEC/COSMOS-1,...
A team of astronomers from the United States and the United Kingdom has found evidence that Milky Way’s faintest satellites — including dwarf galaxies...
Astronomers have known that roughly 12 billion years ago, the gas in deep space was much more opaque than it is now in some regions, although the opacity...
A new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope demonstrates the immense effects of gravity; more specifically, it shows the effects of gravitational...
Q2343-BX418, a young star-forming galaxy located about 10 billion light years away from Earth, is surrounded by an enormous halo of gas, according to new...
Astronomers have used the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and ESA’s Gaia space observatory to make the most precise measurements of the expansion rate...
