The Atacama Cosmology Telescope in Chile not only confirmed one of the greatest mysteries in the universe—it also ruled out ...
A persistent, nagging problem with the expansion speed of the Universe may not require a rewrite of everything we know about physics. New measurements taken using the James Webb Space Telescope ...
“The first thing we know about the universe is that it’s really, really big,” says cosmologist Michael Turner, who has been contemplating this reality for more than four decades now. “And because the ...
Let’s say you have a baby. Maybe you really do, maybe you don’t. But Dan Scolnic, a cosmologist at the University of Chicago, does have one, and perhaps that's why a hypothetical baby helps him ...
Then there was the September discovery of C/2025 R2 (SWAN), a comet so bright that even when it was near the moon on ...
"It means cleaning house, narrowing the viable paths forward, and no longer spending energy on what are evidently dead ends." ...
There is an important and unresolved tension in cosmology regarding the rate at which the universe is expanding, and ...
The cracks in cosmology were supposed to take a while to appear. But when the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) opened its lens last spring, extremely distant yet very bright galaxies immediately ...
No matter how elegant your theory is, experimental data will have the last word. Observations of the retrograde motion of the planets were fundamental to the Copernican revolution, in which the sun ...
Thomas Kitching receives funding from the Royal Society, and the Science & Technology Facilities Council. Science is advancing rapidly. We are eradicating diseases, venturing further into space and ...
Paul Sutter explores how ancient creation myths and modern cosmology answer the same questions, framing the Big Bang as a scientific creation story rooted in observation and theory ...
