A striking reality faces modern cosmology: two of the most advanced telescopes ever built now agree on a result that the standard cosmological model cannot explain. Webb’s confirmation of the Hubble ...

NASA has released a huge new report that astronomers are calling Hubble’s magnum opus. Analyzing 30 years of data from the famous space telescope, the new study makes the most precise measurement yet ...

The Hubble Space Telescope might be best known by the public for the beautiful images of space it captures, but it is most famous among astronomers for producing groundbreaking insights into the ...

This is the light echo of the Big Bang, the first light that freely moved through the universe. This relic is crucial to our ...

Until just a century ago, our galaxy was thought to be the lone family of stars occupying the Cosmos. Philosophers, notably Immanuel Kant in the 18th Century, postulated the existence of other ...
