For the first time in history, we can explore the universe through a rich blend of senses—seeing, touching, and hearing ...

A faint cosmic spin – one rotation per 500 billion years – could resolve the stubborn Hubble tension by tweaking standard ...

Physicists may need to come up with a new theory for how the universe works, after a dark energy experiment has produced confounding results.

This hints that our best theory of the universe's evolution, the standard model of cosmology ... continues to build the largest 3D map of the universe ever created. By the time DESI completes ...

A team of astronomers has created the largest 3D map of our universe to date and tracked dark energy's influence on the ...

DESI has made the largest 3D map of our universe. The Earth is at the central vertex, and every dot is a galaxy. DESI collaboration and KPNO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/R ...

The rotating model, which does not break any known law of physics, suggests the universe could spin around once every 500 billion years. This would be far too slowly to detect easily, but enough to ...

Theoretical physicists James Hartle and Stephen Hawking, for example, proposed that rather than having a strict beginning as we would understand it, the universe evolved out of a "no-boundary" state ...

A project to map galaxies across the universe may have spied cracks in the foundation of our understanding of the cosmos.
