The Cosmos wants us to know its origins. Every moment of every day, it sends us a multitude of pointers, each one a clue to a different aspect of the universe. But the Cosmos is the original Trickster, and its
Read Full ArticleThe European Space Agency (ESA) is all set to release five new images from the Euclid space telescope on May 23 (Thursday). Space fans can expect an absolute treat if previous set of pictures is anything to go by. "Five

Read Full ArticleA new concept of quantum gravity, which tries to unite quantum physics with Einstein's relativity, could help unravel the puzzle of the universe's expansion, suggests a theoretical paper. For almost a century, scientists have known that the cosmos is expanding.
Read Full ArticleThere is overwhelming evidence that the Cosmos is expanding. But how? By creating new space altogether or by stretching the existing space? Almost 100 years have passed since humanity first reached a revolutionary inference about the nature of our Cosmos:
Read Full ArticleMIT astronomers have observed the difficult to catch (elusive) starlight surrounding some of the earliest quasars in the cosmos. The distant signals, which trace back over 13 billion years to the cosmos's infancy, are offering clues to how the earliest

Read Full ArticleThe most probable fate of primordial black holes is either complete evaporation in a runaway process, or the formation of Planck-scale relics. A fresh model presented by astrophysicists raises the likelihood that the Cosmos could be filled with ultralight primordial
Read Full ArticleHave researchers discovered a “cosmic glitch” in the gravity of the universe? That’s exactly what a team in Canada believes after finding that Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity doesn’t quite match up with what astronomers are observing at the
Read Full ArticleResearchers may be a step closer to ascertaining how gamma-ray bursts are among the most powerful explosions in the known universe. For context, a single gamma-ray burst (GRB) can produce far more energy within seconds than the sun will radiate
