Who is Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin: The Woman Who Knew The Stars
Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin was the first person to realise the abundance of hydrogen in the stars and the universe at large. ...
Could this be the oldest galaxy in the universe?
If galaxies were human, GN-z11 would want you to get off its lawn.
Physicists perform the most detailed simulation of the Universe yet
This immense simulation is so complex that scientists have observed phenomena that had not been programmed explicitly in the code.
Astronomers finally find the earliest molecule in the Universe
The breakthrough validates our current models of how the universe works.
Scientists measure all the starlight ever produced in the Universe
The number of photons emitted into space is 4 followed by 84 zeroes. Now, that a moment to wrap that ...
The universe’s rate of expansion is in dispute – and we may need new physics to solve it
What is being seen is that the universe is expanding faster nearby than we would expect based on more distant ...
We’ve just found the earliest traces of hydrogen, showing when the first-ever stars ignited
We've learned a lot about the early universe.
Scientists just found half of the universe’s missing matter, and strengthened the Standard Model in the process
It was floating around where we estimated it would be.
What shape is the Universe, really?
The Universe is flat, according to modern research. But what does that mean?
Universe has 2 trillion galaxies, 20 times more than we thought, new study claims
We may have dramatically underestimated what lies in the Universe.
ESA’s Gaia observatory sends back first star chart showing a billion new stars
Seeing is believing.
The Universe expands equally in all directions — and this is bad news for Einstein’s equations
Zoom out far enough, and the Universe is a pretty homogenous place.
First stars formed much later than we thought
The European Space Agency's Planck satellite has revealed some information which may force us to rethink the evolution of the ...
The Universe is expanding faster than we thought, new Hubble study finds
Astronomers working with the Hubble telescope have discovered that the Universe is expanding 5-9% faster than expected, and this is ...
The Universe expands much faster than we thought, and current models can’t explain why
Scientists have completed the most precise measurement of the Universe's rate of expansion to date; but the result just isn't ...
The entire Universe in one Logarithmic Map
Don't you just love it when art and science get together? Here, artist Pablo Carlos Budassi managed what seems impossible: representing the ...
The oldest galaxy we’ve come across might re-write the way we think the early cosmos evolved
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and the Spitzer Space Telescope jointly used their instruments to identify the oldest galaxy yet seen. ...
Pushing the limit: scientists discover oldest known stars
Astronomers have discovered the oldest known stars lurking in a super-luminous galaxy - they may very well be among the ...
Astronomers discover farthest galaxy yet
A team of astronomers from Yale and the University of California-Santa Cruz have looked back in time, discovering a galaxy ...
