That the universe is expanding has been known for almost a hundred years now, but how fast? The exact rate of that expansion ...
We have known for several decades that the universe is expanding. Scientists use multiple techniques to measure the present-day expansion rate of the universe, known as the Hubble constant. These ...
The team's findings, which were published Monday in the journal Nature, also unveil a method of investigating dark matter, which remains one of the universe's greatest mysteries. Astronomers setting ...
New research suggests that dark energy isn't needed to explain the acceleration in the expansion of the universe — instead suggesting giant voids in space are creating an illusion. When you purchase ...
A recent study by EPFL finds that extraterrestrial signals in the Milky Way are likely rare and distant, with few detectable transmissions reaching Earth at any time ...
New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope suggest that a new feature in the universe—not a flaw in telescope measurements—may be behind the decadelong mystery of why the universe is ...
Consensus on the universe’s expansion rate might be near, thanks to the James Webb telescope The biggest clash in cosmology might be inching closer to resolution, thanks to the James Webb Space ...
The standard model of how the universe works involves the widely accepted theory that dark energy is a fundamental constant of nature that drives the accelerating expansion of the universe. But a new ...
