And while we do not have direct evidence of its existence, it is actually the cosmic web that gives us some important hints.

That is because, as part of the Cosmic Web, these basins of attraction could reveal how galaxies like the Milky Way came together in larger gatherings and, thus, how the 13.8-billion-year-old ...

"The cosmic web of dark matter is a solid prediction of our cosmological model of the universe, and it can be described in detail using numerical simulations," says co-author Elia Pizzati, a graduate ...

Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to detect ancient lonely quasars with murky origins. They appear to have few cosmic neighbors, raising questions about how they first emerged more than ...

Since its launch, the James Webb Space Telescope has identified early galaxies that shine unexpectedly brightly, suggesting ...

Webb's high-resolution instruments uncover distant objects, enabling studies of early stars, galaxies, and habitable ...

Euclid this week delivered the first piece of a cosmic map — containing about 100 million stars and galaxies — that will take six years to create. In the mountains of Uzbekistan, a research ...

The vastness of the Universe is filled with many mysteries that scientists are working to unravel. One such tool is NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, which captures events occurring within the cosmos ...

A mosaic of images from the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope captures more than 14 million galaxies, offering a first glimpse of a “cosmic atlas”. The mapping project could add ...

computer simulations suggest that up to 70% of the mass of the BCG — and others like it in all clusters — comes from material that has become caught up in their cluster's gravitational web and ...
