While that may seem a long time ago, in terms of cosmic time, this qualifies as breaking news, said Edward Sion, astrophysicist at Villanova University, which has no connection with the ...

Euclid this week delivered the first piece of a cosmic map — containing about 100 million stars and galaxies — that will take six years to create. In the mountains of Uzbekistan, a research ...

An overabundance of antimatter in showers of charged particles that bombard Earth called cosmic rays could reveal the secrets of dark matter, the universe's most mysterious "stuff," a new study ...

"This discovery presents a challenge: our cosmic surveys may not yet be large enough to map the full extent of these immense basins," study co-author Ehsan Kourkchi, an astronomer at the ...

Cosmic rays are particles from outer space that travel across the universe. They can be made by the sun, by other stars exploding, and even black holes. They move extremely fast, nearly the speed of ...

Cosmic inflation is a faster-than-light expansion of the universe that spawned many others. Inflation was invented to explain a couple of features of the universe that are really hard to explain ...

Your new 'cosmic address' Pomarède should know all about cosmological superstardom. In 2014, he was one of the discoverers of the Laniakea supercluster, which verified the concept of basins of ...

Today, the dominant theoretical approach combines string theory, a powerful mathematical framework with no successful physical predictions as yet, and “cosmic inflation” – the idea that ...

These objects are thought to be a source of galactic cosmic rays, the origins of which are currently a mystery. Understanding how this microquasar works could also help researchers learn more ...

One thing that can be said about the now-50-year-old “NOVA”: It has never been very funny. But the science program’s introduction to “Decoding the Universe: Quantum” is certainly amusing ...
