Computer algorithms can model the universe, matching simulations to observations and revealing the distribution of dark ...

Researchers studied how the universe’s structure changed over time. They found that the universe is less clumpy than expected ...

However, this new study found that no dark matter was responsible for the formation of these early galaxies, instead a stronger form of gravity is being labeled as the culprit. What new discoveries ...

A new preprint study has taken a closer look at the "universe-breaking" Little Red Dot galaxies discovered in the early ...

Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies, cosmic 'ghost towns,' offer new insights into the early universe and star formation.

A fast radio burst, or a strong pulse of energy, was tracked to a distant long-dead galaxy that astronomers never thought ...

A new computational method gleans more information than its predecessors from maps showing how galaxies are clustered and threaded throughout the universe.

Astronomers have struggled with finding ultra-faint dwarf galaxies far enough from the Milky Way's influence, making these faintest galaxies in the cosmos difficult to study. Three newly discovered ...

By combining data from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys and the Gemini South telescope, astronomers have investigated three ultra-faint dwarf galaxies that reside in a region of space isolated from the ...
