It’s always amazing, and more than a little humbling, when the universe reminds us that our “common sense” is provincial, ...

Researchers have discovered a potential 'cosmic glitch' in the universe's gravity, explaining its strange behavior on a cosmic scale. A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the ...

Approximately 424 million light-years away, a vast chunk of the cosmic web (the network-like distribution of matter the ...

Researchers have found a razor-thin, rotating string of galaxies inside a massive cosmic filament, revealing unexpected ...

There is no denying the awesome predictive power of Albert Einstein's 1915 theory of gravity, general relativity — yet, the theory still has inconsistencies when it comes to calculating its effect on ...

The universe is expanding, but astronomers still cannot agree on exactly how fast. That mismatch, known as the Hubble tension ...

Scientists have been scratching their heads at the expansion of the universe since it was discovered nearly a century ago, particularly applying fundamental theories such as Einstein's Theory of ...

A newly-detected spinning galaxy filament is reshaping our understanding of cosmic structure, gas flows, and the origins of ...

"We believe that the universe on very large scales is made of a network-like distribution of galaxies, gas and dark matter," ...

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 ...

Mikhail Ivanov, Oliver Philcox, and Marko Simonović won the New Horizons Award for their work on large scale structures — the strands and filaments of our universe which contain buried clues to its ...
