Astronomers have analyzed the largest map of the universe — and found that Einstein was right yet again about gravity, according to a series of new studies. The analysis, which looked at nearly ...

A new effort to map the rumblings in spacetime caused by enormous black hole collisions paints a surprisingly loud and lopsided picture of the universe. Using the largest gravitational wave ...

Behold the hot, energetic Universe. A German-Russian space telescope has just acquired a breakthrough map of the sky that traces the heavens in X-rays. The image records a lot of the violent ...

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 ...

A new underground facility called DUNE, which will accelerate particles for 800 miles between Illinois and South Dakota, ...

Galaxies are not islands in the cosmos. While globally the universe expands—driven by the mysterious "dark energy"—locally, ...

This is the most detailed map of of the distribution of dark matter in the Universe. The bright areas represent its highest concentrations - which is where galaxies form An international team of ...

Large galaxy surveys are attempting to measure millions of galaxies and map their distribution in space. We are only beginning to learn and explore the geography of the universe. Let's get going.

The telescope will catalogue billions of new objects and produce a new map of the entire night sky every three days with the ...

One reason it is hard to learn the geography of the local universe is that it is 3-D. A map, as a 2-D object, is easy to spread out on a table so you can learn 2-D relationships between places.

At the bottom of the chart are the fundamental particles—quarks, bosons (eg Higgs, w +, w -, z ), protons, neutrons, ...
