Astronomers have heard the faint hum of gravitational waves echoing throughout the universe for the first time. For nearly a decade, scientists have been hunting for the gravitational wave background, ...

Scientists may have identified the gravitational waves that make up some of the universe’s background, not just those coming from unusual events like black hole collisions. New Atlas reports that the ...

Astronomers are trying to listen to the universe's background hum — a cascade of gravitational waves believed to exist since the first rapid inflation of space following the Big Bang over 13.8 billion ...

Even stars can get lost in space. Scientists who shot a rocket up beyond Earth’s atmosphere for a matter of minutes have made a remarkable discovery about the diffuse background light that permeates ...

The fabric of the universe is constantly rippling, according to astronomers who have discovered a background buzz of gravitational waves. These waves may be produced by supermassive black holes ...

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope in Chile has released its final batch of data after 15 years — and it proves that the Hubble tension is very real.

Astronomers have developed a way to detect the ultraviolet background of the universe, which could help explain why there are so few small galaxies in the cosmos. Astronomers have developed a way to ...

Penrose's idea of a conformal cyclic cosmology hypothesizes that our Universe arose from a pre-existing Universe that would leave imprints on our cosmos today. This is a fascinating and imaginative ...

Astronomers have developed a new technique to detect the cosmic ultraviolet background radiation that keeps the universe ionized and hot. Their findings provide clues as to why astronomers observe ...
