For years, scientists have worked to chart the universe’s massive structure, aiming to test key models of cosmology. These efforts also help uncover how galaxies form and change over time. While most ...

The universe's largest structure, the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall, was already a challenge to explain with models of the universe due to its incredibly vast size — and now, using the most ...

Space. It's really, really big. How big is it? Well, according to astronomers, the observable universe is around 92 billion light-years in diameter, but that's all we can see (hence the word ...

In the name of open science, the multinational scientific collaboration COSMOS on Thursday released the data behind the largest map of the universe. Called the COSMOS-Web field, the project, built ...

A new emulator is tackling the near-impossible task of mapping the universe's large-scale structure without sacrificing intricate details.

In the name of open science, the multinational scientific collaboration COSMOS on Thursday has released the data behind the largest map of the universe. Called the COSMOS-Web field, the project, with ...

"We already see indications of cracks in the standard model." Are we living in a simulation? Well, the jury's out on that one. But humans do create simulations all the time. In fact, the Euclid ...

REUTERS - Astronomers have discovered the largest known structure in the universe - a group of quasars so large it would take 4 billion years to cross it while traveling at speed of light. The immense ...

Astronomy is, in essence, an exercise in inference. We cannot touch the stars, nor scoop up galaxies in a lab. Instead, we ...

All good things must come to an end. Like many other human achievements, the International Space Station mission is coming to ...

The universe is truly magical: vast, mysterious, and endlessly fascinating. There’s something almost unreal about being able ...
