Scientists simply can’t agree on how fast the universe is expanding

It’s one of the leading puzzles in cosmology. Why two different approaches used to calculate the rate at which the cosmos is expanding don’t produce the same result. Branded as the Hubble tension, the conundrum suggests that there could be

More Milky Way-like galaxies have been spotted by scientists in early cosmos, advancing our understanding of how galaxies came into being

Mizzou researchers are peering into the past and revealing new clues about the early cosmos. Since light takes a very long time to travel through space, they have the opportunity to see how galaxies looked billions of years ago.In a

‘We’re trying to find the shape of space’: astrophysicists wonder if the cosmos is like a doughnut

Rather than stretching to infinity and beyond, the universe may have a topology that can eventually be mapped We may be existing in a doughnut. It may sound like Homer Simpson’s fever dream, but that could in fact be the

A Mystery about the Cosmos’s First Black Holes May Be Disentangled at Last

Astrophysicist Priyamvada Natarajan hypothesized that black holes can form without the aid of stars. New observations back her theory. As astrophysicists read back into the initial chapters of the cosmos’s history, they have exposed a horde of massive black holes
