The James Webb Space Telescope blasted off from a launchpad in French Guiana in 2021, before reaching a spot in orbit a million miles away. It soon began breaking cosmology.

If true (and it’s a pretty big “if”), Vopson’s new gravitational study would shake the foundations of the currently accepted view of the universe. In his paper, Vopson writes that his new work could ...

The shape of the universe is not something we often think about. But my colleagues and I have published a new study suggests ...

The universe has no brain. It has no gray matter, no nervous system, no neurons firing electrical impulses—and yet, that physical structure may not be where intelligence and consciousness actually ...

Another batch of the ‘impossible’ galaxies turned out not to be standard galaxies at all, but a new type of object that ...

"The cosmic dipole anomaly has thus established itself as a major challenge to the standard cosmological model, even if the ...

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer ...

By studying tiny distortions in the shapes of distant galaxies, scientists mapped dark matter and dark energy across one of the largest sky surveys ever assembled. Their results back the standard ...

For decades, astronomers have been trying to nail down the value of the Hubble constant—a measure of how fast the universe is expanding. But some cosmologists say there’s evidence that the universe is ...

JWST detects supernova from 730M years after Big Bang, offering rare glimpse of stars in early universe. The event offers scientists a rare glimpse into the final moments of massive stars.

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope in Chile has released its final batch of data after 15 years — and it proves that the Hubble ...

The universe’s expansion might not be accelerating but slowing down, a new study suggests. If confirmed, the finding would upend decades of established astronomical assumptions and rewrite our ...
