How supermassive black holes formed over billions of years have remained a mystery to astronomers for years. A recent discovery of six galaxies and a supermassive black hole forming a cosmic web may explain its origins.
A group of physicists is working on a new theory, called the constructor theory, which attempts to solve wide-ranging problems including what makes biological evolution possible and many more. The only problem is how to test their theory.
Dr. Katie Mack, theoretical cosmologist and Assistant Professor at North Carolina State University, shares five different scenarios on how the universe might end, in the latest episode of the Science Focus Podcast Monday, August 24.
Here are some astonishing facts about the universe that will blow your mind away! The Earth, space, and universe have always baffled even the world's most intelligent scientists.
From galactic alcohol deposits to icons ripped straight off literature books, here are some of the most interesting things ever found across the universe.
Scientists from Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) released a comprehensive analysis of of the largest-ever 3D map of the universe created detailed in 23 papers, and it looks stunning.
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of a distant galaxy moving away from the Earth 60 million light-years away. The star was identified as NGC 7513, and was moving away from the Milky Way at 3.5 million mph.
The crash resulted in the galaxies being pulled and stretched on an outward direction and because of this stretch, star formation turned to shape the nose and face of the intergalactic ghoul.
A long time ago, when people stared in the sky. Sometimes they'd spy bright specs of light. Some thought they were angels or the gods dashing through the sky. In time, early astronomers developed spyglasses and telescopes with improved optics.
For the first time in a million years, the astronauts spotted what was considered as the first molecule that started the universe. It was a Helium hydride (HeH), a combination of helium and hydrogen atoms. The astronauts were able to locate it at a distance of 3,000 light years away from the Earth.
Here are theories of the pre-Big Bang universe. As most of us are aware our universe is 13. 8 billion years old. The apparent result of a big bang that expanded our universe into what it is today.
11-year old prodigy wants to prove that God created the universe through his knowledge in science. The creation of the universe has always been the topic of great debate.
Astronomers worldwide have an exciting announcement to make. First ever proof of Black Holes, by way of photography, could possibly be revealed by astronomers from a worldwide network of cosmic observatories on April 10, according to the European Southern Observatory.
Proof of an existing Multiverse is theoretically inevitable. The Universe is constantly expanding, and at an accelerated rate. Even with today's most advanced technology, the edge of the Universe could never be seen.
Recent reports are saying that supermassive black holes might unravel the mystifying fifth force of the universe based on the latest studies of space experts.
A new study conducted by a team of astronomers through the NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory data reveals a new model for the dark matter present in the universe. The dark matter can be fuzzy but not cold.
