A new study, published in The Astrophysical Journal, finally changes that. Using data from the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX), researchers built a three-dimensional map of ...

Astronomer and Queen guitarist Brian May teams up with astrophysicist Derek Ward-Thompson to bring the cosmos to 3D.

Despite years of debate and follow-up studies, an odd streak of cosmic light still defies a final explanation. Is it a giant ...

Euclid’s first deep-field survey has captured 26 million galaxies, some over 10 billion light-years away, offering a preview of its mission to chart a third of the sky in stunning detail. AI and ...

Humanity has always been fascinated by space. We are able to see the universe with breathtaking clarity because of NASA's powerful telescopes. Astronomers have been able to take pictures of galaxies ...

“You build these machines not to confirm the paradigm but to break it,” European Space Agency senior science and exploration adviser Mark McCaughrean said. This logic underlies the iconoclastic ...

Astronomers produced the most complete map of the center of the Milky Way, which can provide insight into how stars and planets are formed.

Astronomers have detected a ghostly galaxy that is almost completely made of dark matter. The faint object was revealed by just four globular star clusters hiding in the Perseus cluster.

Scientists believe this long stream of gas may have formed when several galaxies collided millions of years ago.

Head-scratching observations of distant galaxies are challenging cosmologists’ dominant ideas about the universe, potentially leading to the implication that the strange substance called dark matter ...

Astronomers have created the largest and most detailed 3D map yet of a glowing signal from the early universe, revealing hidden galaxies and gas from 9-11 billion years ago. By analyzing faint ...
