Scientists used Cosmic Microwave Background data to challenge our understanding of the universe's shape. Here's what they ...

Scientists may have identified the gravitational waves that make up some of the universe’s background, not just those coming from unusual events like black hole collisions. New Atlas reports that the ...

New research suggests the universe may be lopsided. Cosmic microwave background and galaxy data hint at directional differences, challenging cosmology’s assumption of uniformity and standard ...

Astronomers have heard the faint hum of gravitational waves echoing throughout the universe for the first time. For nearly a decade, scientists have been hunting for the gravitational wave background, ...

Astronomers are trying to listen to the universe's background hum — a cascade of gravitational waves believed to exist since the first rapid inflation of space following the Big Bang over 13.8 billion ...

Astronomers have developed a way to detect the ultraviolet background of the universe, which could help explain why there are so few small galaxies in the cosmos. Astronomers have developed a way to ...
