In A Nutshell Astronomers have identified 18 ancient, dust-shrouded galaxies from the universe’s first billion years that ...

A physicist proposes that the universe might not be empty but act like a viscous fluid, resisting expansion. This bold idea ...

Our universe does host life, but another one might be even better suited for life. Here’s what you’ll learn when you read ...

“For the last 20 years, people believed that the cosmological constant is positive, and the universe will expand forever,” says Tye, a professor emeritus at Cornell. A positive constant acts like a ...

New data from major dark-energy observatories suggest the universe may not expand forever after all. A Cornell physicist calculates that the cosmos is heading toward a dramatic reversal: after ...

The shape of the cosmos depends on a balance of two competing forces: the pull of gravity and the expansion driven by dark ...

The Universe may not have started with the Big Bang, but instead “bounced” out of a massive black hole formed within a larger “parent” universe, according to a new scientific paper. Professor Enrique ...

They shaped the Universe, yet the first stars ever born continue to evade the searches of astronomers like Dr Emma Chapman ...

You might think galaxies can’t ever find each other in our runaway cosmos, but it turns out gravity can sometimes overcome ...

Physicist Sean Carroll explains how physics, astronomy, philosophy, and classics all help us understand the expanding ...

Now physicists from the University of Washington are taking a big swing at answering that question. All matter exerts gravitational force. The more mass the object has, the greater the force. Yet, a ...

The earliest black holes in the universe may not have disappeared from Hawking radiation after all, new research hints. Instead, they fed on the energy of the ancient cosmos to grow supermassive.
