Cosmology

A new study proposes that black holes could hold the key to dark energy, which fuels the accelerating expansion of the universe. Using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), astronomers observed a possible correlation between the growth of black holes and an increase in dark energy. The study's co-authors, Gregory Tarlé and Duncan Farrah...

The study published in Journal of Cosmology posits that studying black holes could reveal the conditions which led to the emergence of dark energy

In 1995, astronomers confirmed the discovery for the first time of a brown dwarf, a body too small to be a star and too big to be a planet - sort of a celestial tweener. But it turns out that was not the full story.

The first stunning images from the European Space Agency's Euclid telescope reveal a mosaic of over 14 million galaxies, marking just 1% of its cosmic atlas. Captured over two weeks, this vast collection aims to enhance our understanding of dark matter and dark energy, contributing to the largest and most accurate map of the universe yet. The teles...

The field of cosmology has faced growing challenges to its standard model in recent years. With new observations from the James Webb Telescope, many are wondering if we’re on the verge of discovering new physics that will reshape our understanding of the universe. From unexplained tensions to unresolved issues, the future of cosmology is both exc...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has provided new insights into the size of early galaxies, revealing they are less massive than once believed. Previous observations suggested that these galaxies were much larger than the standard cosmological model predicted. However, by examining infrared light from these galaxies, scientists, including Dr S...

Artificial intelligence is advancing the field of cosmology by enabling astronomers to determine five fundamental cosmological parameters with remarkable precision. Researchers from the Flatiron Institute's Center for Computational Astrophysics (CCA) in New York City have used AI to analyse extensive data from over 100,000 galaxies, observed throug...

The identification of another ultra-large structure in remote space continues to defy our understanding of the cosmos.

What is the universe made of? This question has driven astronomers for hundreds of years.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have uncovered evidence challenging one of the most fundamental pillars of modern physics.

Researchers will be able to use these statistical methods to continue tweaking general relativity, explore the limits of modifications, and pave the way to resolving some of the open challenges in cosmology.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope sent back breathtaking photos of our universe last week, including ones that give us a chance to see faint distant galaxies as they were more than 13 billion years ago. The JWST photos also raise interesting points about how the expansion of the Universe factors into the way we calculate distances at a cosmologic...

Scientists from the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe have constructed simulations that directly mimic the whole life cycle of some of the greatest collections of galaxies discovered 11 billion years ago in the distant universe. Most are simply statistically constructed to resemble the real world. Constrained cosmologi...

Stephen Hawking, the British physicist who brought science to a mass audience with the best-selling book "A Brief History of Time," has died. He was 76. He suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, and was confined to an electric wheelchair for much of his adult life. Diagnosed at age 21, he was one of t...

Renowned physicist Stephen Hawking died at his home in Cambridge in the early hours of Wednesday, he was 76. Family of Professor Hawking, in a statement said, "He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years. His courage and persistence with his brilliance and humour inspired people across the wor...
