The Universe is big, as Douglas Adams would say. The most distant light we can see is the cosmic microwave background (CMB), which has taken more than 13 billion years to reach us. This marks the edge ...

Cosmic inflation posits a brief epoch of accelerated expansion in the early Universe, resolving the horizon and flatness puzzles while laying down the primordial density fluctuations that seed cosmic ...

Velocity streamlines within the reconstructed volume, with colored envelopes associated with the prominent nearby basins of attraction. The map and streamlines have been cropped to the region covered ...

The Universe on the largest scales exhibits a complex network of filaments, sheets and voids that together form the cosmic web. This web is generated by the gravitational growth of primordial density ...

A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the University of British Columbia have discovered a potential “cosmic glitch” in the universe’s gravity, explaining its strange behaviour on a ...

New cosmology studies suggest the universe may not be perfectly uniform, potentially challenging long-standing assumptions about space, expansion, and dark energy.

Most detailed map: Webb’s COSMOS-Web survey mapped the cosmic web in unmatched detail, reaching back to the universe’s first ...
