A revolutionary computer simulation lets anyone experience 13 billion years of cosmic evolution in stunning detail. The COLIBRE project created virtual galaxies so realistic that even astronomers can't tell them apart from real space images.
Astronomers have measured the true power of black hole jets for the first time, finding they pack the energy of 10,000 Suns and travel at half the speed of light. The breakthrough confirms theories about how black holes shape galaxies across the universe.
Scientists just completed the largest, sharpest 3D map of the universe ever made, capturing 47 million galaxies that could unlock the mystery of dark energy. The breakthrough survey offers humanity new clues about what the cosmos is made of and where it's headed.
A telescope in Arizona just finished mapping 47 million galaxies and quasars, creating the most detailed view of our universe ever captured. The findings could completely change what we know about the mysterious force expanding our cosmos.
Scientists just completed the largest 3D map of the universe ever made, capturing 13 million more galaxies than planned and finishing ahead of schedule. The groundbreaking survey could reveal whether the mysterious force expanding our universe is changing over time.
Astronomers just completed the largest map of the universe ever made, capturing 47 million galaxies and quasars. The breakthrough could solve mysteries about dark energy and reshape our understanding of the cosmos.
Astrophysicists created the highest resolution map ever of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up 27% of the Universe and holds galaxies together. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, they can now see cosmic structures we've never glimpsed before.
An international team has created the largest 3D map of the universe ever made, charting 47 million galaxies across billions of years. The breakthrough helps us understand where the cosmos came from and where it's headed.
After five years of stargazing, a telescope in Arizona just completed the most detailed 3D map of the universe ever created, capturing 47 million galaxies across 11 billion years of cosmic history. The breakthrough could finally reveal how dark energy shapes our universe's fate.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured a breathtaking image of galaxy IC 486, revealing a supermassive black hole at its core that's reshaping our understanding of how galaxies grow. Scientists are using this cosmic powerhouse to unlock secrets about the forces that shape our universe.
Scientists may have finally spotted the universe's very first stars, born just 400 million years after the Big Bang. The James Webb Space Telescope detected these ancient giants in a tiny companion object near one of the early universe's brightest galaxies.
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected the strongest evidence yet for Population III stars, the first generation of stars that illuminated the dark universe. Two independent research teams confirmed the discovery using metal-free chemical signatures from a tiny object near one of the most distant galaxies ever observed.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope discovered a unique "stingray" galaxy that finally explains one of astronomy's strangest puzzles. Scientists believe these mysterious cosmic objects aren't a new type of galaxy at all, but a brief evolutionary phase every galaxy goes through.
Strange red lights in the young universe puzzled astronomers for years, but new research reveals they're young black holes wrapped in dense gas clouds, not impossibly massive galaxies. The discovery rewrites our understanding of how supermassive black holes grew in the early cosmos.
A five-layer parasol thinner than a human hair keeps the James Webb Space Telescope cold enough to see the earliest galaxies in the universe. Without this engineering marvel, none of Webb's breathtaking discoveries would be possible.
A summer internship took MJ Keller from classroom theory to analyzing real data from galaxies in the early universe. Their work revealed important insights about how we measure star formation across cosmic time.
A powerful South African telescope is revealing a hidden universe between galaxies, discovering 60 cosmic structures never seen before. The breakthrough puts South Africa at the forefront of mapping how the universe actually works.
Astronomers discovered the most distant and powerful cosmic laser ever detected, beaming from colliding galaxies when the universe was half its current age. The breakthrough shows how gravity itself can act as a natural magnifying glass for exploring our cosmic past.
