A never-before-seen image of the cosmic microwave background, combining data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and the Planck satellite, offers a high-definition view of the early Universe.

Scientists may have identified the gravitational waves that make up some of the universe’s background, not just those coming from unusual events like black hole collisions. New Atlas reports that the ...

It's well established that the universe is expanding, but there's serious disagreement among scientists over how fast it's happening.

Astronomers are trying to listen to the universe's background hum — a cascade of gravitational waves believed to exist since the first rapid inflation of space following the Big Bang over 13.8 billion ...

New research has unveiled images of the universe in its infancy—a mere 388,000 after the Big Bang. The snaps of the universe were produced by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope collaboration (ACT), which ...

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 ...

The fabric of the universe is constantly rippling, according to astronomers who have discovered a background buzz of gravitational waves. These waves may be produced by supermassive black holes ...

On Earth, a visible ripple effect occurs when a stone is thrown into the water. In space, a similar phenomenon happens. However, instead of creating waves that can be seen by the human eye or optical ...
