"This process is like a cosmic CT scan, where we can look through different slices of cosmic history and track how matter clumped together at different epochs." A powerful combination of data from ...

A new image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows a cosmic cloudscape, with clouds of dust and gas swirling in beautiful colors.

A filament of the “cosmic web” seen in a recent supercomputer simulation. The simulation matches almost exactly a real piece of the cosmic web captured in new telescope observations.

An international team has captured an unprecedented image of a cosmic filament connecting two galaxies. This discovery sheds light on the structure of the cosmic web and its role in galaxy formation.

Astronomers led by Stanford University and Harvard believe the "remarkable" cosmic explosion could either be the first X-ray burster ever discovered in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a rare ...
