Physicists say dark energy ‘doesn’t exist’ so can’t be pushing ‘lumpy’ cosmos apart

One of the biggest ambiguities in science—dark energy—doesn't in fact exist, according to scientists looking to solve the riddle of how the cosmos is expanding. Their analysis has been published in the open access journal MNRAS Letters (Monthly Notices of

Our understanding of the cosmos may not be complete: JWST data suggests

The divergence between the observed expansion rate of the cosmos and the predictions of the standard model suggests that our understanding of the cosmos may not be complete. New observations from JWST (the James Webb Space Telescope) have substantiated data

First Actively Forming Galaxy as Lightweight as Infant Milky Way Found

For the very first time, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected and “weighed” a galaxy that not only existed about 600 million years after the big bang, but is also akin to what our Milky Way galaxy’s mass

New map of the cosmos uses gravitational waves to expose hidden black holes and cosmic structure

An international study led by astrophysicists from Swinburne University of Technology has fashioned the most detailed maps of gravitational waves across the cosmos to date. The study has also produced the biggest ever galactic-scale gravitational wave detector and found further

New research claims that miniature black holes could be in fact hollowing out planets and zipping through our bodies

Some physicists say the enduring questions about our cosmos could be solved by hypothetical objects termed primordial black holes. New study claims the evidence of their existence could be present right here on Earth. Minuscule black holes capable of hollowing

5 dwarf galaxies in perfect alignment pose a challenge to our best model of the cosmos

A group of dwarf galaxies unusually aligned in a near-straight line, with most of them rotating in the same direction, has been discovered by astronomers. These unusual features pose challenge to predictions made by the prevailing cold dark matter (CDM)

Milky Way Galaxy in which we’re living is an Abnormal Galaxy

Astrophysicists very often use the Milky Way as a standard for researching how galaxies form and evolve. Since we’re residing inside it, astrophysicists can study it in detail employing advanced telescopes. By probing it in different wavelengths, astrophysicists and astronomers

2 Million MPH Galactic Collision Captured in Awesome Detail

The WEAVE telescope has documented a high-velocity collision of galaxies in Stephan’s Quintet, baring the powerful shockwaves and dynamic interactions shaping galaxy evolution. This observation underlines both the competences of new astronomical tools and the violent processes within the cosmos.
