Astronomers have known for a century that the universe is expanding. We can now trace this expansion over much of its almost 14 billion year history, with important constraints going back to just one ...

Astronomers in Hawaii may have solved a mystery embedded in the background of the Universe, by identifying the largest single object in existence. Dr Istvan Szapudi at the Institute for Astronomy at ...

The biggest structure ever identified by humans is a gigantic hole in the universe known as the supervoid, astronomers say. Loading... It is 1.8 billion light years across or about 10-20 times bigger ...

Astronomers believe they may finally be able to explain the origin of the “cold spot”, a glaringly large cool region in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Maps of the CMB, such as that created by ...

New research suggests that a troubling disparity in the rate of expansion of the universe, known as the Hubble constant, may arise from the fact Earth sits in a vast underdense region of the cosmos.

So-called Hubble Tension could be hinting at new physics. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A major discrepancy between different ...
