Researchers have captured in an incredible image one of the cosmic filaments connecting two galaxies from when the universe was just two billion years old. What makes this image so special is that it ...

Astronomers using the Very Large Telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile have imaged a filament of the cosmic ...

Long before galaxies sparkled in the sky or stars took shape, invisible forces stirred in the early Universe. One of those forces—magnetism—emerged in ways scientists are only now beginning to ...

Primordial magnetic fields, billions of times weaker than a fridge magnet, may have left lasting imprints on the Universe. Researchers ran over 250,000 simulations to show how these fields shaped the ...

You could swim through the deepest voids and encounter a single hydrogen atom in an entire football field's worth of space. At the very largest scales, galaxies are not scattered around randomly.

The magnetic fields that formed in the very early stages of the Universe, may have been billions of times weaker than a small fridge magnet, with strengths comparable to magnetism generated by neurons ...

A UK startup wants to build a cosmic radio station in the Moon’s orbit to listen to radio waves from the early universe. Blue Skies Space has secured a contract from the Italian Space Agency to design ...
