A new look at radio maps of the sky shows a pronounced tilt, called a dipole, that astronomers are still unable to explain ...

Scientists found where the universe’s missing matter went. Black holes have been pushing it far away from galaxies.

With CMB-S4, scientists hope to connect a sandy desert with a polar desert—and revolutionize our understanding of the early universe. In the 1960s, an anomalous, faint electromagnetic glow was ...

Leftover light from the young universe has a major flaw, and we don't know how to fix it. It's the cold spot. It's just way too big and way too cold. Astronomers aren't sure what it is, but they ...

To answer Robertson: The Higgs field doesn’t appear to have more valleys to explore, according to our current understanding.

The events surrounding the Big Bang were so cataclysmic that they left an indelible imprint on the fabric of the cosmos. We can detect these scars today by observing the oldest light in the universe.

The team explores one of the greatest discoveries of modern astronomy - that our universe is expanding - and the new questions it raises about how the cosmos works. The team explores one of the ...

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, or Fermilab, physicist James Strait has been selected as the next director for the Stage 4 Cosmic Microwave Background project, or CMB-S4, at Lawrence Berkeley ...

Astronomers have used ground-based telescopes for the first time to peer back 13 billion years in time to observe the universe when the first stars first lifted the cosmic darkness. This period, ...
