Created using observations from Hubble's Frontier Fields observing programme, the map shows the amount and distribution of mass within MCS J0416.1-2403, a massive galaxy cluster found to be 160 ...

The galaxy cluster studied, CL0024+1654, is one of the largest structures in the Universe. It is 4.5 billion light years away and, although too faint to be seen with the naked eye, spans an area ...

The new maps show that the Milky Way galaxy, along with the Virgo cluster and some 100,000 other galaxies, is gravitationally sailing in the same gigantic cosmic pool, named Laniakea.

The first five color images captured by the European Space Agency’s Euclid telescope were revealed Tuesday, capturing previously unseen cosmic details.

The best data for looking at the galaxy distribution comes from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), which is constructing the largest 3D map of the universe. When completed, it will map the ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Two teams of astronomers have used data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes to map the distribution of dark matter in a galaxy cluster known as Abell 383 ...
