Ghost particles' can zoom through you without a trace. Scientists are getting to the bottom of this cosmic mystery ...

Parallels in the physics of the universe and that of black holes have led some cosmologists to wonder if our universe could have been born in a black hole. Photograph by NASA Goddard Gazing up at the ...

Discover how the universe stretches beyond comprehension and how telescopes like Hubble and James Webb reveal galaxies at the ...

Theorists have found that a “warm” version of cosmic inflation is consistent with known physics, linking it to the hunt for ...

Imagine being able to gaze at the very edge of the observable universe and witness a dazzling array of galaxies. NASA has now made this extraordinary experience possible by releasing an expansive map ...

Could Earth be the only place in the observable universe harboring a civilization like ours? A new hypothesis challenges how ...

WASHINGTON — Using data from NASA’s Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), scientists have identified an unexpected motion in distant galaxy clusters. The cause, they suggest, is the ...

MAUNA KEA, Hawaii (KHON2) — It has been described like rivers feeding oceans. The universe has streams of gas that nourish galaxies throughout the cosmos. But scientists said that these streams, which ...

It’s easy to envisage other universes, governed by slightly different laws of physics, in which no intelligent life, nor indeed any kind of organised complex systems, could arise. Should we therefore ...

Astronomers may have found the long-missing half of the universe's regular matter—and it appears to have been right under our noses all this time. Models of how the universe has evolved since the Big ...

Gazing up at the stars at night, it’s easy to imagine that space goes on forever. But cosmologists know that the universe actually has limits. First, their best models indicate that space and time had ...
