The James Webb Space Telescope is pushing the boundaries of our understanding of the universe, capturing galaxies formed just ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have charted billions of years of galactic evolution, and found that ...

Researchers have unveiled a new model for the universe’s birth that replaces cosmic inflation with gravitational waves as the ...

Was planetary formation different during the early universe than today? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as an international team of researchers ...

The universe may be so improbable that a single conscious brain could be more likely than the formation of stars, planets, ...

Astronomical observations have revealed an extraordinary discovery that challenges our understanding of cosmic evolution.

Researchers propose that hydrogen gas from the early Universe emitted detectable radio waves influenced by dark matter.

In the name of open science, the multinational scientific collaboration COSMOS on Thursday has released the data behind the largest map of the universe. Called the COSMOS-Web field, the project, with ...

The gravitational lensing that causes this rare phenomenon cannot be explained solely by looking at observable ...

A monster galaxy from the early universe shows that the cosmos was rich with oxygen when it was only less than 3% of its present age, astronomers have found. The discovery raises questions about how ...

Astronomers have detected one of the darkest objects ever seen at a record cosmic distance—only with the assistance of gravity. The discovery is an important step toward the observation of dark matter ...

Pfalzner's models show that interstellar objects — bodies ejected from other star systems — could be captured by these planet-forming disks. These objects could "seed" the disks, sweeping past the ...
