Ripples in the fabric of space-time called gravitational waves may be the key to solving the Hubble tension — one of the biggest nagging problems in physics.

An international team of astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has discovered the aftermath of what some call "galactic cannibalism:" the aftermath of a 100 million-year-old cosmic collision ...

Astronomers have discovered the brightest and most distant "megamaser" to date. The cosmic energy beam is shooting toward ...

“Such a system is indeed extraordinary,” said Dr. Thato Manamela. We are witnessing radio equivalent of a laser half way through the universe. The “laser” under discussion is not a beam of lightsaber ...

A pair of quasars that existed when the universe was only 3 billion years old has been spotted by the Hubble Space Telescope. The quasars were powered by a pair of supermassive black holes on a ...

A galaxy made almost entirely of dark matter, an elusive form of matter that doesn’t interact with light, was spotted by Hubble 250 million light-years from Earth.

A near invisible realm. The post Hubble Spots Bizarre Galaxy That Appears to Be 99.9 Percent Dark Matter appeared first on Futurism.

The catalog of gravitational waves "heard" by LIGO, KAGRA and Virgo has doubled with detections of spacetime ripples.

Despite sounding like something out of pulpy '50s sci-fi, 'space lasers' are real – and astrophysicists have now spotted the ...

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 ...

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

A new study proposes that a crash between Titan and another moon spawned Hyperion and, much later, destabilized Saturn’s ...
