The largest known structure in the Universe may be even larger than the large we thought it was. A re-examination of the distribution of powerful space explosions suggests that the Hercules-Corona ...

The universe's largest structure, the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall, was already a challenge to explain with models of the universe due to its incredibly vast size — and now, using the most ...

The local universe may be expanding more slowly than previously thought, a discovery that could relieve a pesky discrepancy ...

A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

Mapping the distribution of matter in the universe is an important quest for cosmology and astrophysics. There is a battle going on between the universe's accelerated expansion and gravity trying to ...

Researchers led by the University of Tsukuba present computer simulations that capture the complex dynamics of elusive neutrinos left over from the Big Bang Current simulations of cosmic structure ...

For years, scientists have worked to chart the universe’s massive structure, aiming to test key models of cosmology. These efforts also help uncover how galaxies form and change over time. While most ...

If you thought the cosmic web was tangled enough, think again. A team of astrophysicists recently used gamma-ray bursts—those spectacular, enigmatic explosions of energy from the farthest reaches of ...

ESO-VLT and ESA XMM-Newton together discover earliest massive cluster of galaxies known Combining observations with ESO’s Very Large Telescope and ESA’s XMM-Newton X-ray observatory, astronomers have ...

A new JCAP study tests an “emulator” to reconstruct the large-scale structure of the cosmos If you think a galaxy is big, compare it to the size of the Universe: it’s just a tiny dot which, together ...

Astronomers have created an enormous 3D map of the universe revealing a glowing “sea of light” from hydrogen gas during the cosmic dawn nearly 11 billion years ago.
