In recent work, a project called the Dark Energy Spectroscopic ... It lines up closely with other local measurements, confirming that the nearby Universe seems to expand more quickly than the standard ...

A study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (JCAP) presents a methodology to test the assumption ...

As night falls on the Atacama desert in northern Chile four giant telescopes turn their gaze towards the star-strewn heavens.

Dark matter can't be too heavy or it might break our best model of the universe, new research suggests. We have an abundance of evidence that something fishy is happening in the universe.

This result, alongside other measurements of the early universe, aligned with predictions made by the standard model of cosmology. But it has been swiftly contradicted by Cepheid distance ladder ...

For CCC to work, the model assumes that all particles eventually decay into photons. No physicists think this is possible (not even Penrose), but who knows what the far-future Universe could cook up.

A new telescope could launch as early as late February. SPHEREx will look into deep space and also search for organic ...

The Tesla Model Y has been revamped, bringing forth new front and rear styling that echoes that of the Cybertruck. Unfortunately, the new-look Model Y is also more expensive than the former design.

The new study takes aim at a key assumption of the standard model: that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic on large scales, meaning it looks the same in every direction and from every ...

The Universe's current headshot represents the local Universe, which contains the Milky Way and its neighbors. The standard model of cosmology is the growth curve connecting the two. The problem ...

Astronomers have been confounded by recent evidence that the universe expanded at different rates throughout its life. New findings risk turning the tension into a crisis, scientists say.
