Understanding the universe as a whole requires simulations on cosmic scales. An international team of astrophysicists, with a ...

Astronomers at the University of Missouri, using the James Webb Space Telescope, have uncovered 300 unusually bright cosmic objects that may be some of the earliest galaxies ever formed. By applying ...

Approximately 424 million light-years away, a vast chunk of the cosmic web (the network-like distribution of matter the universe displays on the largest scale) appears as if it’s been caught in a ...

Scientists at Rutgers and collaborators have traced the invisible dark matter scaffolding of the universe using over 100,000 Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies. By studying how these galaxies clustered ...

Astronomers at Texas A&M University have discovered a rare, tightly packed collision of galaxies in the early universe, suggesting that galaxies were interacting and shaping their surroundings far ...

Early galaxies were star-forming machines, furiously gobbling up gas and spitting out stars. A new model helps explain why ...

The dark matter distribution of a Milky Way mass halo in a Lambda-cold dark matter (LCDM) cosmological simulation. This is the highest resolution simulation of a MW-mass dark matter halo ever ...

A recently detected flash of energy appears to have emanated from the wreckage of colliding galaxies, according to an international team of astronomers led by Penn State scientists. The burst, known ...
