Your new 'cosmic address' Pomarède should know all about cosmological superstardom. In 2014, he was one of the discoverers of the Laniakea supercluster, which verified the concept of basins of ...

Today, the dominant theoretical approach combines string theory, a powerful mathematical framework with no successful physical predictions as yet, and “cosmic inflation” – the idea that ...

These objects are thought to be a source of galactic cosmic rays, the origins of which are currently a mystery. Understanding how this microquasar works could also help researchers learn more ...

"This is just 1% of the map, and yet it is full of a variety of sources that will help scientists discover new ways to describe the universe." The Euclid Space Telescope has revealed the "first ...

We can now measure the CMB—our single greatest piece of evidence about cosmic history—with a precision unimaginable at the turn of the millennium. We have mapped the distribution of galaxies ...

An international team led by three researchers from the CNRS, the European Southern Observatory (ESO, Europe), and Charles University (Czech Republic) has successfully demonstrated that 70% of all ...

"This discovery presents a challenge: our cosmic surveys may not yet be large enough to map the full extent of these immense basins," study co-author Ehsan Kourkchi, an astronomer at the ...

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 ...

Its mission? To create a 3D map of one-third of the sky—the largest such map ever made. This “cosmic atlas,” as it’s also called, will be the culmination of six years of observations with ...
