For centuries, people have looked to the stars, asking how it all began—and how it might end. Now, thanks to a bold new study ...

Fresh evidence claims that the Earth and the surrounding galaxy are suspended inside a cosmic void based on echoes from the ...

The standard model of cosmology relies on an accurate reading of the cosmic microwave background. This radiation, emitted 380,000 years after the Big Bang, is considered proof of the theory's ...

But axions were pushed aside as the WIMPs hypothesis gained more steam. Back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that the ...

Astrophysicists suggest our galaxy may lie inside a "cosmic void" - offering a new explanation for the universe’s conflicting ...

Astronomers who examined the sound waves from the Big Bang say that the Earth and the entire Milky Way could be trapped in a ...

Evidence is mounting that cosmic dark energy, long thought constant, may weaken with time - potentially altering the fate of ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) In the Big Bang Theory, the cosmic microwave background — microwave-range radiation that floats through the entire universe at a steady 2.7 Kelvin — is evidence that a hot ...

This afterglow—the "cosmic microwave background" (CMB), the relic radiation left behind by the Big Bang—has given astronomers insights into the birth of the universe and helped shape the ...

New observations support the idea that hot, diffuse threads of gas called cosmic filaments connect clusters of galaxies ...

New research presented at the Royal Astronomical Society's National Astronomy Meeting (NAM) in Durham suggests a revolutionary possibility: Earth and the entire Milky Way galaxy might be nestled ...
