The universe is truly magical: vast, mysterious, and endlessly fascinating. There’s something almost unreal about being able ...

Galaxies aren’t scattered randomly they’re woven into vast filaments stretching across billions of light-years. These threads ...

Long before galaxies sparkled in the sky or stars took shape, invisible forces stirred in the early Universe. One of those forces—magnetism—emerged in ways scientists are only now beginning to ...

Primordial magnetic fields, billions of times weaker than a fridge magnet, may have left lasting imprints on the Universe. Researchers ran over 250,000 simulations to show how these fields shaped the ...

What happens when two rare ring galaxies collide? They form an infinity symbol—or the face of a cosmic owl, depending on how you look at it. The James Webb Space Telescope has helped two international ...

JWST color-composed image of the Cosmic Vine. Credit: arXiv (2023). DOI: 10.48550/arxiv.2311.04867 An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a large-scale structure that consists ...

The magnetic fields that formed in the very early stages of the Universe, may have been billions of times weaker than a small fridge magnet, with strengths comparable to magnetism generated by neurons ...

Astronomers have imaged a spectacular thread in the cosmic web, connecting two actively forming galaxies that existed when the universe was just 2 billion years old. Both galaxies at hand are home ...
