Hold on to your telescopes: The DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys team has released the largest-ever 2D color map of the universe. The 5.6-trillion-pixel map contains nearly 4 billion celestial objects, ...

A new celestial map not only catalogs a variety of cosmic objects but also serves as a pointer for other telescopes on Earth ...

Most of the matter and energy in the cosmos does not shine, yet its presence is written into the way galaxies twist, stretch, and smear across the sky. By treating those warped galaxies as data rather ...

Scientists just released the biggest two-dimensional map of the universe - The map includes nearly four billion stars, galaxies, supernovae and other objects in space ...

Astronomers used subtle warps in galaxy shapes to map the invisible forces shaping the universe. By reanalyzing years of telescope images, they studied more than 100 million galaxies across an ...

The known Universe just got a lot bigger. A new map of the night sky published Tuesday charts hundreds of thousands of previously unknown galaxies discovered using a telescope that can detect light ...

Magnetic fields are a fundamental part of the universe. They govern how small particles – the building blocks of planets, stars, and ultimately galaxies – move through space. We still don’t know how ...

Giant structures stretching more than a billion light years across have been revealed by two new maps of the distribution of galaxies in the universe. The updated atlases lend more support to the idea ...

A Rutgers-led team of scientists has uncovered evidence of how galaxies expand by tracing the invisible scaffolding of the universe created by a mysterious substance known as dark matter. "Analyzing ...

Most of the universe cannot be seen with any telescope, and that is not because scientists lack powerful tools. It is because the cosmos is ruled by substances that give off no light at all. Dark ...
