Looking up at the night sky, it may seem our cosmic neighborhood is packed full of planets, stars and galaxies. But ...

For one, scientists observe a "cosmic fossil" called the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The first light that was free to ...

Researchers have uncovered new insights into the reaction pathways of the universe’s first molecule. Shortly after the Big ...

The detection of a predicted universal background of gravitational waves rippling across the fabric of space-time was announced last Wednesday by the NANOGrav consortium of over 190 scientists at ...

“We have evidence of what we call ‘the gravitational wave background,’ which is a hum of gravitational waves coming from all of the gravitational waves in the universe,” Dr. Sarah Vigeland ...

Astronomers across the world announced on Thursday that they have found the first evidence of a long-theorised form of gravitational waves that create a "background hum" rumbling throughout the ...

For instance, accurately describing the cosmic microwave background has been vital for cosmology, but the universe was completely opaque to electromagnetic radiation for its first 379,000 years.
