"This discovery presents a challenge: our cosmic surveys may not yet be large enough to map the full extent of these immense basins," study co-author Ehsan Kourkchi, an astronomer at the ...

These objects are thought to be a source of galactic cosmic rays, the origins of which are currently a mystery. Understanding how this microquasar works could also help researchers learn more ...

An international team led by three researchers from the CNRS, the European Southern Observatory (ESO, Europe), and Charles University (Czech Republic) has successfully demonstrated that 70% of all ...

Its mission? To create a 3D map of one-third of the sky—the largest such map ever made. This “cosmic atlas,” as it’s also called, will be the culmination of six years of observations with ...

We can now measure the CMB—our single greatest piece of evidence about cosmic history—with a precision unimaginable at the turn of the millennium. We have mapped the distribution of galaxies ...

Astronomers have discovered the earliest strongly rotating galaxy ever seen that's well-organized rather than chaotic, challenging theories of cosmic evolution. When you purchase through links on ...

An overabundance of antimatter in showers of charged particles that bombard Earth called cosmic rays could reveal the secrets of dark matter, the universe's most mysterious "stuff," a new study ...

One could argue that cosmologists had made little progress in our understanding of these basic facts since the discovery of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the afterglow of the Big Bang ...
