For centuries, cartographers have sought to map Earth’s land masses and seas to better understand the world and their place in it. Now, astrophysicists have taken a major step toward doing the same ...

Black holes are so strange that physicists have long wondered if they are quite what they seem. Now we are set to find out if ...

Astronomers have been confounded by recent evidence that the universe expanded at different rates throughout its life. New ...

Most cosmologists believe that these stars were the first large, free-floating structures to illuminate our universe, and ...

A panel of physicists and astronomers grapple with possible cracks in our modern creation myth, the standard model of cosmology. JWST’s image of spiral galaxy NGC 628, which is 32 million light-years ...

For the past few years, a series of controversies have rocked the well-established field of cosmology. In a nutshell, the predictions of the standard model of the universe appear to be at odds with ...

Michael Boylan-Kolchin and others show “early dark energy” might help solve the Hubble Tension and explain why there are more early galaxies than expected. A panel of physicists and astronomers ...

RUDN University astrophysicists have gathered the most important discoveries of modern cosmology from 1917 to our time. The collected data became an introduction to Philosophical Transactions of the ...

Scientists made a twin version of our universe, showing the evolution of all forms of matter and energy, in the biggest cosmological computer simulation to date. When you purchase through links on our ...

Modern cosmology reveals a universe expanding uniformly without a spatial center or edge. The Big Bang wasn't a localized ...

Support the show: / pmsutter The latest DESI results seem to indicate that dark energy is decaying. This is a very tentative result, and comes with other strange issues like a measurement of a ...

Most of the universe is missing. Only 5% of it is normal matter, which makes up all the people, planets and stars we can see; the other 95% consists of mysterious dark matter and dark energy.
