For the first time, astronomers have spotted enormous, galaxy-scale shock waves rattling the "cosmic web" that connects nearly all known galaxies. These cosmic waves could reveal clues about how the ...

Scientists led by a team from the University of Chicago recently released a study that mapped some of the largest known ...

Galaxy clusters are the largest gravitationally bound structures in the universe, with each containing hundreds or even ...

"It's astonishing to find such a strong radio signal at this distance." A vast cloud of energetic particles surrounding a cluster of galaxies that existed around four billion years after the Big Bang ...

Space. It's really, really big. How big is it? Well, according to astronomers, the observable universe is around 92 billion light-years in diameter, but that's all we can see (hence the word ...

The researchers discovered something crucial. When shock waves reach the outer edges of a galaxy cluster, they collide with ...

For years, scientists have worked to chart the universe’s massive structure, aiming to test key models of cosmology. These efforts also help uncover how galaxies form and change over time. While most ...

Astronomers have discovered what could be the largest black hole ever detected. With a mass of 36 billion times that of our Sun, its gravity is so powerful that it bends the light of an entire galaxy ...

This new release presents the largest interactive deep space catalog ever created - over 800,000 galaxy images - offering scientists and the public unparalleled and interactive access to the early ...

Astronomers have uncovered a distant galaxy forming stars 180x faster than the Milky Way, revealing how early galaxies grew ...

Astronomers have just discovered the largest black hole in the history of space and the stunning find is rewriting all we know about our universe. But black holes are also proving to be the centre of, ...
