The team behind Europe's Euclid space telescope just published the world's most extensive simulation of the universe, which ...

The Milky Way isn't just drifting through a giant void in space untethered, but is embedded in a sheet of dark matter like a ...

Researchers studying a distant spiral galaxy have found that large-scale, ordered magnetic fields existed far earlier in cosmic history than standard theories predicted, forcing a fresh look at how ...

Astronomers have discovered a flattened structure of matter around the Milky Way that explains the unusual motion of nearby galaxies.

Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic fields observed across the universe Cosmic magnetic fields are everywhere, ...

For decades, astronomers wondered why most nearby galaxies are speeding away from the Milky Way instead of being pulled in by its gravity. New simulations reveal the answer: our galaxy sits in a ...

A recent paper reveals we're almost certainly going to collide with a galaxy in the next couple billion years, but it's not the one we thought. Reading time 2 minutes For over a decade, researchers ...

Astronomers have created the largest and most detailed 3D map yet of a glowing signal from the early universe, revealing hidden galaxies and gas from 9-11 billion years ago. By analyzing faint ...
