As the universe evolves, scientists expect large cosmic structures to grow at a certain rate: dense regions such as galaxy clusters would grow denser, while the void of space would grow emptier. As ...

MAUNA KEA, Hawaii (KHON2) — It has been described like rivers feeding oceans. The universe has streams of gas that nourish galaxies throughout the cosmos. But scientists said that these streams, which ...

For decades, scientists have worked to map the universe’s large-scale structure, testing cosmological models and ...

The idea that gravity shapes the universe into nicely bounded superclusters is being overturned by a finding so gargantuan that it could send cosmologists back to the drawing board. The new mapping of ...

An astronomer from the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy and an international team published a new study that reveals more of the vast cosmic structure surrounding our Milky Way galaxy. The ...

(Nanowerk News) An international research team led by the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) has developed a new method of imaging the universe and created a fascinating map of the ...

The Universe is big, as Douglas Adams would say. The most distant light we can see is the cosmic microwave background (CMB), which has taken more than 13 billion years to reach us. This marks the edge ...

An enormous map of the universe and how it's changed over time has been made by scientists, and may change how we think about the cosmos and its expansion. This map, made using data gathered by the ...

For over a century, Einstein's general theory of relativity has been key to understanding gravity. But new research suggests this theory "glitches" in the farthest reaches of space. That doesn't mean ...

Physicists finally know where at least some of these high-energy particles come from, which helps make the neutrinos useful for exploring fundamental physics. Of the 100 trillion neutrinos that pass ...

Looking up at the night sky, it may seem our cosmic neighborhood is packed full of planets, stars and galaxies. But scientists have long suggested there may be far fewer galaxies in our cosmic ...
