However, Lane and his colleagues tested an alternative idea called the timescape model, which suggests that the apparent acceleration could be a byproduct of cosmic structures like voids — vast ...

Rather than relying on a cheek swab or a little blood, however, these cosmic DNA tests utilize tiny ripples in the fabric of spacetime called gravitational waves, first proposed by Albert Einstein ...

That timeline means that this supermassive black hole, estimated to have a mass around 200 million times that of the sun, existed in a vital cosmic period known as the "epoch of reionization." ...

What is the structure of our physical reality? Physicists have long imagined space and time interweaving into “space-time”, the metaphorical fabric that underlies the cosmos. But there may be ...

As the star spins, these beams sweep past Earth and produce periodic pulses of radio waves, much like a cosmic lighthouse. This behaviour has earned them the name “pulsars”. Pulsars typically ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A cosmic object, ASKAP J1839-0756, challenges current understanding of neutron stars by emitting radio pulses every 6.5 hours, far slower than typical pulsars ...

Thick disk stars were born in an epoch when the Milky Way was furiously producing stars, a time astronomers call cosmic noon. “It was the most intense period of star formation ever.” ...
