Astronomers have been confounded by recent evidence that the universe expanded at different rates throughout its life. New findings risk turning the tension into a crisis, scientists say.

A new study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (JCAP) presents a methodology to test the ...

If scientists confirm an anisotropic expansion, it would challenge the assumption that the universe has no preferred directions.

In the expanding universe, there is no pan ... However, some predict that there could be multiple universes. A model that includes multiple universes could fix some of the problems scientists ...

A unique dataset of Type Ia supernovae being released today could change how cosmologists measure the expansion history of ...

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is set to revolutionize our understanding of the cosmos by detecting millions of exploding ...

The model described by the researchers is set in the backdrop of an expanding universe that is accelerating in its expansion, just like the modern-day universe is. In that expanding universe ...

The Universe is expanding faster than predicted by theoretical models, and faster than can be explained by our current understanding of physics. This discrepancy between model and data became ...

The model isn't perfect. It still assumes something about the early universe — namely, that the cosmological constant is strong enough to lead to a rapidly expanding cosmos. And it doesn't ...

A unique dataset of Type Ia Supernovae being released today could change how cosmologists measure the expansion history of the Universe.
