Astronomers have discovered a vast tendril of hot gas linking four galaxy clusters and stretching out for 23 million light-years, 230 times the length of our galaxy. With 10 times the mass of the ...

Cosmic inflation posits a brief epoch of accelerated expansion in the early Universe, resolving the horizon and flatness puzzles while laying down the primordial density fluctuations that seed cosmic ...

A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the University of British Columbia have discovered a potential “cosmic glitch” in the universe’s gravity, explaining its strange behaviour on a ...

The Universe on the largest scales exhibits a complex network of filaments, sheets and voids that together form the cosmic web. This web is generated by the gravitational growth of primordial density ...

Scientists used some of the most advanced plasma simulations ever created to uncover how the universe builds enormous magnetic fields out of turbulence. The discovery could reshape our understanding ...
