A new study has estimated the universe’s possible age by using precise data on stars.

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.

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 ...

In the depths of the universe, where black holes collide and neutron stars crash, invisible ripples in spacetime are sent across the cosmos, carrying with them secrets about the most extreme events in ...

About 13.8 billion years ago, within a millionth of a second after the Big Bang, the universe existed in an ultra-hot and dense state. Instead of protons and neutrons, the fundamental building blocks ...

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has started releasing its first discoveries: including supernovae, variable stars and asteroids ...

Astronomers have peered back in time to find what looks like a population of 'hidden' galaxies that could hold the key to unlocking some of the universe's secrets. If their existence is confirmed it ...

Researchers have unveiled a new model for the universe’s birth that replaces cosmic inflation with gravitational waves as the driving force behind creation. Their simulations show that gravity and ...

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 ...

Astronomers have uncovered a hidden population of dusty galaxies that formed just one billion years after the Big Bang, offering a new glimpse into the universe’s formative years. An international ...
