Scientists have discovered a giant cosmic filament where galaxies spin in sync with the structure that holds them together.

For years, we’ve believed that the universe is a vast, uniform expanse, with the same properties stretching across the cosmos ...

It is very difficult to imagine the Universe as anything other than a perfectly balanced system, but now everything indicates that it could have a highly asymmetrical nature. This is a whole lot more ...

"The cosmic dipole anomaly has thus established itself as a major challenge to the standard cosmological model, even if the ...

Researchers have found a razor-thin, rotating string of galaxies inside a massive cosmic filament, revealing unexpected alignments that challenge models of how galaxies gain their spin. An internation ...

The Roman telescope promises to provide a clearer picture of the large-scale structure of the universe and the forces shaping ...

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 ...

New data reveals a 3-million-light-year filament connecting two galaxies, each of which hosts a supermassive black hole. Reading time 3 minutes Researchers compiled hundreds of astronomical ...

It’s always amazing, and more than a little humbling, when the universe reminds us that our “common sense” is provincial, falling apart on cosmic scales. If you’re on the surface of Earth—and I’m ...

"This process is like a cosmic CT scan, where we can look through different slices of cosmic history and track how matter clumped together at different epochs." When you purchase through links on our ...
