Astronomers have released a new "baby picture" of the universe. The all-sky image draws on nine years' worth of data from a now-retired spacecraft dubbed the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe ...
The awe-inspiring distances of the cosmos are hard to visualise, so how can we be certain we are measuring them correctly?
If the universe has properties similar to a fractal, our description of space and time is wrong, and our understanding of things like Dark Energy is deeply flawed.
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 ...
Nasa has released the most colourful picture of the universe ever made. The space agency created the image by combining data from the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes to capture light that ...
Imagine rewinding the clock to the very beginning of the universe. What would you see? Not the glittering galaxies captured by Hubble, but a universe shrouded in a dense, primordial fog. To peer ...
A big picture According to Viall, these two missions will give us a better understanding of the “big picture” of the universe. SPHEREx sees 102 colors when it generates its map of the universe.
NASA's Roman Space Telescope will look all the way back to cosmic dawn 400 million years after the Big Bang to discover how the universe fundamentally changed at this crucial point in its history.
In the 1900s, Albert Einstein unified the concepts of space and time, giving us a useful new way to picture the universe.
Sure, they're not your typical baby pictures. But a global team of researchers says new images published this week show some of the clearest visualizations yet of the universe in its infancy.
The new pictures of this background radiation, known as the cosmic microwave background (CMB), add higher definition to those observed more than a decade ago by the Planck space-based telescope.
After the big bang, electricity and light filled the universe in what's called the epoch of reionization. The James Webb Space Telescope is hunting for more clues to explain this time period.
