Computer algorithms can model the universe, matching simulations to observations and revealing the distribution of dark ...

The holy city of Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka is the alleged home of a map that could unlock the secrets of the universe.

An international study led by astronomers from Swinburne University of Technology has created the most detailed maps of gravitational waves across the universe to date. The study has also produced ...

The furthest black hole featured in the map existed when the universe was only 1.5 billion years old, over 12 billion years ago. The map itself is showcased in a video within the paper ...

New research using 3D galaxy maps and advanced algorithms reveals hidden information that could challenge our understanding ...

Scientists use 3D galaxy maps to uncover hidden details about dark matter and the universe’s large-scale structure.

Scientists have constructed the largest 3-D map of our universe to date, and it's come with a couple of interesting surprises. "So far, we're seeing basic agreement with our best model of the ...

"This process is like a cosmic CT scan, where we can look through different slices of cosmic history and track how matter clumped together at different epochs." ...

According to NASA's SPHEREx mission details, the observatory will survey the entire sky using near-infrared light. Its goals include exploring how galaxies evolved, understanding the structure of the ...

This discrepancy is measured using a metric called Sigma 8 (σ8), which tracks the clumpiness of matter. Lower-than-expected ...

Across cosmic history, powerful forces have acted on matter, reshaping the universe into an increasingly complex web of ...

A new computational method gleans more information than its predecessors from maps showing how galaxies are clustered and threaded throughout the universe.
