About 400,000 years post the Big Bang, the universe was a very dark place. The glow of the cosmos’s explosive birth had cooled, and space was packed with dense gas – mostly hydrogen – with no sources of light. Gradually,
Read Full ArticleOne of the most mortifying aspects of our Cosmos is the knowledge that all things will eventually pass away. New stars and stellar systems, although are likely to keep forming for many billions or even trillions of years to come,
Read Full ArticleAstronomers have discovered a quasar 12 billion light years away hosting a SMBH (supermassive black hole) that gobbles up mass more than the mass of our sun every day A quasar 500 trillion times brighter than our sun has grabbed
Read Full ArticleThe universe is expanding at an ever-accelerating rate, some but not all scientists are in agreement that dark energy is the cause. Maybe, instead, our universe keeps bumping with and absorbing smaller 'baby universes,' a new hypothetical study suggests. Our
Read Full ArticlePlanck space mission of the European Space Agency has made available detailed maps of the cosmos' oldest light, but even this only nicks the surface of the universe’s full extent. In Short The observable universe is the part we can
Read Full ArticleResearchers at Switzerland based world's biggest particle accelerator have put forth a proposal for a new, comparatively larger, supercollider. Its aim understandably is to discover new particles that would revolutionize physics and lead to a more thorough understanding of how

Imagine you're on a space adventure, flying past stars and planets, when you come across the universe's best-kept secret: black holes! These cosmic hideouts are so strong that they can pull in anything close by – even light can't escape!
Read Full ArticleA notion derived from string theory suggests that dark matter is hiding in a relatively large extra dimension. The theory makes testable assumptions that physicists are examining now. Most of what researchers think exists is consigned to a dark, murky
Read Full ArticleThe decade-long effort puts forth findings in consonance with standard cosmological models, but open to more complex interpretations. Way back in 1998, astronomers discovered the fact that the universe is expanding at an ever accelerating rate, owing to a mysterious
Read Full ArticleIf we attempt to quantify star-formation history of our Universe then a fascinating figure crops up. 2.21 sextillion stars have formed in the course of the history of our Universe, at least, within the presently observable part of the universe.
