There is no denying the awesome predictive power of Albert Einstein's 1915 theory of gravity, general relativity — yet, the theory still has inconsistencies when it comes to calculating its effect on ...

Researchers have found a razor-thin, rotating string of galaxies inside a massive cosmic filament, revealing unexpected ...

Researchers have discovered a potential 'cosmic glitch' in the universe's gravity, explaining its strange behavior on a cosmic scale. A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the ...

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 ...

In an article published in the June 2003 Astronomical Journal, researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias in Spain, and Williams College ...

NASA’s Roman Space Telescope will study thousands of cosmic voids, mapping galaxy distributions to investigate dark matter, dark energy and the universe’s large-scale structure through precise ...

The universe is expanding, but astronomers still cannot agree on exactly how fast. That mismatch, known as the Hubble tension ...

A newly-detected spinning galaxy filament is reshaping our understanding of cosmic structure, gas flows, and the origins of ...

In 1965, British mathematician Roger Penrose proposed the cosmic censorship conjecture, a concept that suggests that singularities — regions where gravity is so strong that the fabric of spacetime ...

The universe’s expansion rate was supposed to be a solved problem, yet the latest high precision map of the early cosmos has ...

Scientists have uncovered a massive rotating structure in deep space, a 50-million-light-year cosmic filament where 14 ...

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 ...
