While mapping the nearby universe, astronomers discovered the largest-known structure in the universe, about 425 million to ...

Astronomers have discovered the largest structure in the universe, named Quipu. It has a mass of 200 quadrillion solar masses ...

“Formally, this light is called the cosmic microwave background (CMB), but we sometimes just call it the universe’s baby picture because it’s a snapshot of when it was around 380,000 years old.” ...

Evidence supporting this theory includes the cosmic microwave background, a faint "echo" of the universe's early expansion that scientists can study in detail. While the Big Bang Theory is widely ...

RIT computer science student will compete for Best Student Game at this year’s Game Developer’s Conference in March.

DnD 2024 backgrounds grant characters stat increases, a starting feat, a range of proficiencies, and a clear backstory. This is a major shake-up to the original Dungeons and Dragons 5e rules, and it ...

In the moments before the Big Bang, our universe was a hot, dense, and extremely high-energy place. That all changed when the universe exploded 13.8 billion years ago. Rapid inflation divided a ...

"This may be reshaping how we think about the Universe, and it's exciting! There are still surprises left in cosmology, and who knows what discoveries will come next?" This research was published in ...

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 ...

What is the structure of our physical reality? Physicists have long imagined space and time interweaving into “space-time”, the metaphorical fabric that underlies the cosmos. But there may be ...

The first is taken by measuring tiny fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) — an ancient snapshot of the universe's first light contained within microwave static produced just ...

The Hubble tension grows: new data shows the Universe’s expansion defies current physics ... Key: CMB (cosmic microwave background), WMAP (Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe), BAO (Baryonic Acoustic ...
