The science community has a crisis on its hands. Some anarchist physicists recently started kicking the tires on the Standard Model and they figured out the universe is expanding faster than it should ...

Until just a century ago, our galaxy was thought to be the lone family of stars occupying the Cosmos. Philosophers, notably Immanuel Kant in the 18th Century, postulated the existence of other ...

Astronomers used gravitational lensing to detect a supernova 10 billion light-years away, providing spatially separated images that help study cosmic expansion and early Universe events.

To many cosmologists, the best thing about neutron-star mergers is that these events scream into space an otherwise close-kept secret of the universe. Scientists combined the gravitational and ...

With the combined power of two space telescopes, astronomers have made the most precise measurement to date of the Hubble Constant, the rate at which the universe is expanding. But the results provide ...

Something isn't quite right in the universe. At least based on everything physicists know so far. Stars, galaxies, black holes and all the other celestial objects are hurtling away from each other ...
