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
Read Full ArticleFor 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
Read Full ArticleAn 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
Read Full ArticleSome 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
Read Full ArticleAstrophysicists claim they are close to solving an intergalactic mystery about the formation of the cosmos's biggest galaxies which has baffled experts for decades. Researchers have discovered the birth sites of gargantuan elliptical galaxies which they claim offer new clues
Read Full ArticleA 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)
Read Full ArticleThe world’s largest simulation of the universe lays a new computational basis for simultaneous extreme-scale dark matter and astrophysical investigations. Researchers used the Frontier supercomputer to carry out the largest astrophysical simulation to date, simulating both atomic and dark matter
Read Full ArticleAstrophysicists 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
Read Full ArticleThe 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.
Read Full ArticleFaraway, ancient galaxies are giving researchers more hints that an enigmatic force called dark energy may not be what they believed. Astrophysicists know that the cosmos is being pushed apart at an accelerating rate and they have been baffled for
