In the vast expanse of the universe, astronomers have just uncovered a colossal cosmic structure, breaking all previous ...

Is it possible to understand the universe without understanding the largest structures that reside in it? In principle, not likely. In practical terms? Definitely not. Extremely large objects can ...

"If our solar system is indeed moving this fast, we need to question fundamental assumptions about the large-scale structure ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Shapley supercluster was one of five giant structures detected in a new study of the local ...

Researchers led by the University of Tsukuba present computer simulations that capture the complex dynamics of elusive neutrinos left over from the Big Bang Current simulations of cosmic structure ...

New supercomputer simulations hint that dark energy might be dynamic, not constant, subtly reshaping the Universe’s structure. The findings align with recent DESI observations, offering the strongest ...

Velocity streamlines within the reconstructed volume, with colored envelopes associated with the prominent nearby basins of attraction. The map and streamlines have been cropped to the region covered ...

If you look at the universe on a big enough scale, the billions of galaxies out there aren’t randomly scattered. Instead, they form a structure made up of galaxies and the gas between them, which are ...

Mikhail Ivanov, Oliver Philcox, and Marko Simonović won the New Horizons Award for their work on large scale structures — the strands and filaments of our universe which contain buried clues to its ...

A new JCAP study tests an “emulator” to reconstruct the large-scale structure of the cosmos If you think a galaxy is big, compare it to the size of the Universe: it’s just a tiny dot which, together ...

PASADENA, Calif. – Astronomers presented a new view of the “nearby” universe, probing the way that galaxies cluster together over distances of hundreds of millions of light years, at today’s meeting ...
