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

A new study has estimated the universe’s possible age by using precise data on stars.

The discovery of the universe’s oldest stars, identified within our own Milky Way galaxy, marks a significant leap forward in our understanding of cosmic history. These ancient stars, formed shortly ...

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 plot represents the new model with the x-axis and the y-axis showing the minimum sizes of collapsing and expanding regions that can impact cosmological measurements. The contours are independent ...

Last year, our most detailed map of the universe yet suggested our understanding of dark energy has been wrong for decades. The shock result is reigniting the search for a better cosmic story ...

About 13.8 billion years ago, within a millionth of a second after the Big Bang, the universe existed in an ultra-hot and dense state. Instead of protons and neutrons, the fundamental building blocks ...

The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe – a singular moment when space, time and matter sprang into existence. But what if this was not the beginning at all? What if our ...
