Let’s explore this cosmic perspective together. How big is the universe? It’s a question that stirs both wonder and humility.

A controversial theory suggests the observable universe is the result of matter rebounding after the collapse of a black hole ...

Armed with the world's largest digital camera, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile will take night-sky images that revolutionize astronomy.

Astronomers have turned the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) into a time machine to peer back in cosmic time to 1 billion years after the Big Bang.

Does the universe behave the same way everywhere? Gravitational lenses could help us find out A JCAP study proposes a test for the Cosmological Principle using weak gravitational lensing Peer ...

Starting with zoomed-in image showcasing the deepest view of the universe that Hubble has been able to generate, the video slowly zooms out to show the full scope of Hubble’s imaging power.

We know that there are voids and dense regions, such as galaxies and the space between them, but if we zoom out—just like we zoom out on a smartphone with two fingers—these inhomogeneities disappear.

We zoom out again, and we finds the filaments, the walls, arcs, and bubbles that make up the cosmic web. But what happens if we zoom out again. Well, we reach the end of greatness.

If our 13.8 billion-year-old cosmos could be considered middle-aged, researchers note these new images captured around its 380,000th birthday represent a snapshot of the universe as a newborn.

But at some point, every process in the Universe that can release a quantum of energy will emit its very last one, and if that occurs, the Universe will truly run out of energy.

That’s still a long way off from when the universe powers down for good—but it’s a far earlier fade-to-black moment than the previous 10 to the power of 1,100 years estimate.

A team of astronomers have put together the largest, most detailed map of the universe ever created – and you can explore it now.
