A new study has found that a hidden bias in galaxy models can skew gravitational-wave measurements of how fast the universe is expanding. That finding complicates one of astronomy’s most promising ...

Astronomers have detected ordered magnetic fields in galaxies so young that conventional models struggle to explain how those ...

Velocity streamlines within the reconstructed volume, with colored envelopes associated with the prominent nearby basins of attraction. The map and streamlines have been cropped to the region covered ...

Abstract: Cosmic variance is the intrinsic scatter in the number density of galaxies due to fluctuations in the large-scale dark matter density field. In this work, we present a simple analytic model ...

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

How do the billions of galaxies in the Universe organize themselves? While the night sky gives the impression of a random scattering, an immense invisible framework actually orchestrates their ...

Explore the 25 Most Massive Objects in the Universe, from supermassive black holes to galaxy walls. Uncover the cosmic giants shaping our cosmos. Discover ...

A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the University of British Columbia have discovered a potential “cosmic glitch” in the universe’s gravity, explaining its strange behaviour on a ...

A computational approach inspired by the growth patterns of a bright yellow slime mold has enabled a team of astronomers and computer scientists at UC Santa Cruz to trace the filaments of the cosmic ...
