What are Gamma-ray bursts? Scientists believe that these ultrabright flashes could hold the secrets of the origin of the universe and they are eager to find where these beams come from.
A new study showed cosmic dawn, when, for the first time, stars formed, took place 250 million to 350 million years following the beginning of the universe.
Researchers mapped the distribution of dark matter in the Universe for the first time. However, the findings seem to contradict Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.
The measurement of the universe is still in question. The data of the observable universe still isn't sufficient to determine the whole shape and size of the expanding universe.
A breakthrough has recently reported about the case of shrinking planets. While planet-hunting missions have found thousands of worlds orbiting distant stars, there is a severe scarcity of exoplanets.
The largest -ever sample of galaxies studied over one-eight of the sky is the largest sample of galaxies observed so far and shows how the appearance of the evolution of the universe -- as we know it -- looks like.
Hints of new physics or unforeseen behavior by the so-called beauty quark, a sub-atomic particle, could reveal flaws in this decades-old theory's foundations.
Every colliding black hole or neutron star should send ripples ringing across spacetime. Experts may have just caught the first hint of gravitational wave background.
The Giant Magellan Telescope will be among the few gigantic earth-based telescopes that have the potential for revolutionizing humans' view and insight of the universe.
Chemical signatures give away the distance to the most distant galaxy. The oldest, farthest disc universe ever observed by scientists runs contrary to the existing perception of how galaxies are made.
You can visualize both the left- and right-handed versions of yourself through the use of your hands. Begin by taking your thumbs and having them pointed in the same direction.
