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.

A new way to study 3D maps of galaxies in the cosmos without compressing the data is revealing new information about the dark universe. Hidden information in maps of galaxies spread across the ...

Hidden information in maps of galaxies spread across the universe could soon come forth, thanks to a new way of interrogating the data that preserves the three-dimensional nature of these maps.

Is the universe flat and infinite, or something more complex? We can’t say for sure, but a new search strategy is mapping out ...

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

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 ...

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

Enrico Chesta, Véronique Ferlet-Cavrois and Markus Brugger highlight seven ways CERN and ESA are working together to further ...

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

Researchers studied how the universe’s structure changed over time. They found that the universe is less clumpy than expected ...
