A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

The largest known structure in the Universe may be even larger than the large we thought it was. A re-examination of the distribution of powerful space explosions suggests that the Hercules-Corona ...

Astronomers have identified what could be the largest structure ever observed in the known universe—a vast network of galaxy clusters and superclusters containing an astonishing 200 quadrillion solar ...

Astronomers have created an enormous 3D map of the universe revealing a glowing “sea of light” from hydrogen gas during the cosmic dawn nearly 11 billion years ago.

The universe's largest structure, the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall, was already a challenge to explain with models of the universe due to its incredibly vast size — and now, using the most ...

A mysterious ultra-large structure discovered in space may challenge our understanding of the cosmos, according to a new study The structure dubbed the "Big Ring on the Sky" lies around 9.2 billion ...

Astronomers working with data from the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment, known as HETDEX, say they have produced ...

A new JCAP study tests an “emulator” to reconstruct the large-scale structure of the cosmos If you think a galaxy is big, compare it to the size of the Universe: it’s just a tiny dot which, together ...

If you thought the cosmic web was tangled enough, think again. A team of astrophysicists recently used gamma-ray bursts—those spectacular, enigmatic explosions of energy from the farthest reaches of ...

Researchers led by the University of Tsukuba present computer simulations that capture the complex dynamics of elusive neutrinos left over from the Big Bang Current simulations of cosmic structure ...

ESO-VLT and ESA XMM-Newton together discover earliest massive cluster of galaxies known Combining observations with ESO’s Very Large Telescope and ESA’s XMM-Newton X-ray observatory, astronomers have ...
