Voluminous clouds of cosmic dust permeate our galaxy, but only recently has software allowed detailed observations of the stuff at scale.

Cosmic microwave background is a sea of radiation that provides us with evidence for the big bang. When around 1916 Einstein first used general relativity to build a cosmic model, he followed the ...

Scientists are exploring a new way to test one of Einstein’s theories—an effect called gravitational wave memory, which could leave a permanent mark on space. The search for this hidden imprint has ...

The cosmic neutrino background (CvB) has been posited for years but has yet to be found, primarily because neutrinos are notoriously difficult to detect. Now, a paper from Professor Douglas Scott ...

One of the best ways to observe this era is with low-frequency radio telescopes, which can observe the “spin-flip” radiation from the hydrogen that pervades the Universe during the Cosmic Dawn.

For years, astronomers have searched for the origins of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, the most powerful particles in the ...

This Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) is the conclusive evidence for the Big Bang theory. The 'temperature' of deep space has been measured as around 3K, not absolute zero, due to the ...

Further evidence for the Big Bang comes from the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR). Astronomers discovered cosmic microwave background radiation in the 1960s. The ...

In 2007, astronomers discovered the Cosmic Horseshoe, a gravitationally lensed system of galaxies about 5.5 billion ...

A deep-sea detector glimpsed a particle with 220 million billion electron volts of energy — around 20 times as energetic as any neutrino seen before.
