Grab some popcorn, turn on some Pink Floyd, and prepare to have your mind blown. Astronomers have created the most advanced simulation to date of the evolution of the universe over billions of years.

Star formation across the universe has fallen dramatically over the past 4.5 billion years, but astronomers have uncovered a ...

An atlas doesn't seem to be an essential item in cars these days, but think about them and most people will think about distances. An atlas of the stars not only covers distances but must also take ...

The plot represents the new model with the x-axis and the y-axis showing the minimum sizes of collapsing and expanding regions that can impact cosmological measurements. The contours are independent ...

The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe – a singular moment when space, time and matter sprang into existence. But what if this was not the beginning at all? What if our ...

Across physics, biology and philosophy, a once-fringe idea is gaining new intellectual weight: the possibility that the cosmos behaves less like a dead machine and more like a living system. Instead ...

A study based on 47 million galaxies found that the cosmic web retains patterns on enormous scales, which could force a reevaluation of a pillar of cosmology. “What we found is a network of enormous ...

How old is the universe? Learn more about the age of the Universe, from it's explosive beginnings to how we on Earth can measure its age. Roughly 14 billion years ago, a tiny pinpoint of extreme heat ...
