The Earth might be near the center of a vast low-density void in space, which could explain one of the cosmos's greatest ...

Are we living in a cosmic void? New theory suggests our galaxy sits in a giant hole warping the universe's expansion.

There are new hints that the fabric of space-time may be made of "memory cells" that record the whole history of the universe. If true, it could explain the nature of dark matter and much more ...

New simulations suggest that dozens of ultra-faint “ghost” galaxies may be orbiting the Milky Way, hidden from current ...

Astronomers claim to have found new evidence supporting a controversial observation that our galaxy is residing in an unusually sparse region in space. If it's correct, it could rewrite cosmology.

Cosmology — the scientific study of what the Universe is made of, where it came from, how it came to be the way it is today, and what its future holds — was derided by many as a quest for two ...

Supernova Cosmology Project, Amanullah, et al., Ap.J. (2010) That's the key that's so often overlooked: you have to examine the full suite of evidence in evaluating the success or failure of your ...

So cosmology used to be a data-poor science in which it was hard to measure things within any reliable precision. And today, we are doing precision cosmology, with percent-level accuracy.

He is a member of the National Science Foundation-funded Atacama Cosmology Telescope collaboration, an international group of more than 160 members who developed the map.

Given that we can only grasp the cosmic contents at the 5% (F-) level, it’s kind of ridiculous to think the standard model of cosmology is totally right. But how it could be wrong remains up in ...

Is cosmology in crisis? A potent mix of hard-won data and rarefied abstract mathematical physics, the standard model of cosmology is rightfully understood as a triumph of human ingenuity.
