A team of researchers penned a new paper detailing the discovery of a 'cosmic glitch' in gravity, which may help in the quest to solve space and time.

Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have discovered a vast 23 million light-year-wide tendril connecting galactic clusters and containing much of the universe's missing matter.

York University and an international team of astrophysicists have made an ambitious attempt to simulate the formation of galaxies and cosmic large-scale structure throughout staggeringly large ...

“Once you reach a cosmic scale, terms and conditions apply.” “This new model might just be the first clue in a cosmic puzzle we are starting to solve across space and time,” Afshordi said.

Astronomers have assembled the first effective model for both the shape and evolutionary history of the Owl Nebula, the well- known planetary nebula in the constellation Ursa Major.

A new study has mapped out the gravitational “basins of attraction” in the local Universe, offering fresh insights into the large-scale cosmic structures that shape the movement of ...

The slime mold model essentially replicated the web of filaments in the dark matter simulation, and the researchers were able to use the simulation to fine-tune the parameters of their model.
