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 ...

Cosmic inflation posits a brief epoch of accelerated expansion in the early Universe, resolving the horizon and flatness puzzles while laying down the primordial density fluctuations that seed cosmic ...

Astronomers have discovered a vast tendril of hot gas linking four galaxy clusters and stretching out for 23 million light-years, 230 times the length of our galaxy. With 10 times the mass of the ...

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 new set of cosmological studies is raising questions about one of the deepest assumptions in modern physics: the idea that the universe behaves uniformly on the largest scales. Using supernova ...

The large-scale structure of the Universe arises from the gravitational amplification of primordial fluctuations, producing a cosmic web of galaxies, filaments, clusters and voids. At sufficiently ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In 1965, British mathematician Roger Penrose proposed the cosmic censorship conjecture, a concept that suggests that singularities ...

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 ...

New cosmology studies suggest the universe may not be perfectly uniform, potentially challenging long-standing assumptions about space, expansion, and dark energy.

A new study in published in Physical Review Letters analyzes the most complete set of galaxy clustering data to test the ΛCDM model, revealing discrepancies in the formation of cosmic structures in ...

Scientists used some of the most advanced plasma simulations ever created to uncover how the universe builds enormous magnetic fields out of turbulence. The discovery could reshape our understanding ...
