A vast cosmic formation known as the Big Ring has been detected deep in space, stretching about 1.3 billion light-years ...

If we look on large enough scales, matter should be distributed evenly, with no preferred direction within the cosmos. This is known as the cosmological principle.

Trying to understand the Universe is often less about seeing it clearly and more about accepting how quickly our intuition ...

Researchers have discovered a potential 'cosmic glitch' in the universe's gravity, explaining its strange behavior on a cosmic scale. A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the ...

Dark matter is often portrayed as a cosmic loner, interacting with itself and the rest of the universe only through gravity. But what if dark matter particles also exert a hidden force on one another?

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. Scientists have been scratching their heads at the expansion of the universe since it was discovered nearly a century ago, particularly applying ...

The large-scale structure of the Universe arises from the gravitational amplification of primordial fluctuations, producing a cosmic web of galaxies, filaments, clusters and voids. At sufficiently ...

A team of researchers in Australia have recorded shockwaves in the cosmic web for the first time. These shockwaves could help us understand the role of magnetic fields. Researchers hope studying the ...

A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the University of British Columbia have discovered a potential “cosmic glitch” in the universe’s gravity, explaining its strange behaviour on a ...
