Students discover bright lensed galaxy in the early universe The night sky is a natural time machine, used by cosmologists to explore the origins and evolution of the universe. Reaching into the depths of the […]
Physicists get closer to examining the symmetries underlying our universe Every field has its underlying principles. For economics it’s the rational actor; biology has the theory of evolution; modern geology rests on the bedrock of […]
CERN: discovery sheds light on the great mystery of why the universe has less ‘antimatter’ than matter It’s one of the greatest puzzles in physics. All the particles that make up the matter around us, such […]
Like the Planets and Galaxy Itself Does the Universe Rotate? If you look around space, you’ll notice a lot of things — the planets, stars, moons, even the galaxy itself — have one thing in […]
Gigantic collisions of galaxy clusters in young universe An international team of researchers led by Leiden University (the Netherlands) has mapped nine gigantic collisions of galaxy clusters. The collisions took place seven billion years ago […]
Galaxies in the infant universe were surprisingly mature Massive galaxies were already much more mature in the early universe than previously expected. This was shown by an international team of astronomers who studied 118 distant […]
