A New Map of the Universe, Painted With Cosmic Neutrinos
Physicists finally know where at least some of these high-energy particles come from, which helps make the neutrinos useful for exploring fundamental physics......»»
Does Monarch: Legacy of Monsters signal the slow death of the cinematic universe as we know it?
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is a frequently entertaining adventure series, but it also feels like a relic of an era that's either dead or dying......»»
"Triple star" discovery could revolutionize understanding of stellar evolution
A ground-breaking new discovery by University of Leeds scientists could transform the way astronomers understand some of the biggest and most common stars in the universe. The paper, "Gaia uncovers difference in B and Be star binarity at small scales.....»»
The universe can"t hide behind the Zone of Avoidance any longer
Our view of the cosmos is always limited by the fact we are located within a galaxy filled with interstellar gas and dust. This is most dramatically seen in the central region of the Milky Way, which is filled with so much dust that it is sometimes r.....»»
Investigating the contribution of gamma-ray blazar flares to neutrino flux
Blazars belong to the family of active galactic nuclei called quasars. What differentiates them from quasars is that the flares ejected out of these active galactic nuclei are pointed toward the Earth. These flares contain high-energy cosmic rays whi.....»»
Physicists answer question of Supergalactic Plane"s absent spiral galaxies
Astrophysicists say they have found an answer to why spiral galaxies like our own Milky Way are largely missing from a part of our local universe called the Supergalactic Plane......»»
Can Apple Vision Pro reinvent the computer, again?
As the universe counts down the clock to Apple's upcoming "reinvention" of augmented reality computing with its new Vision Pro early in the new year, it's useful to take a look at how successful it has been at reinventing the computing platform in th.....»»
Scientists disagree on how fast the universe is expanding, and new tech is making it worse
Usually new tech brings us closer to understanding more of the universe, but in the field of cosmology, one uncertainty is only getting worse......»»
The echoes from inflation could still be shaking the cosmos today
In the very early universe, physics were weird. A process known as inflation, during which the universe went from a single infinitesimal point to everything we see today, was one such instance of those weird physics. Now, scientists from the Chinese.....»»
The universe is expanding faster than theory predicts—physicists are trying to explain the mismatch
Astronomers have known for decades that the universe is expanding. When they use telescopes to observe faraway galaxies, they see that these galaxies are moving away from Earth......»»
The "Cosmic Vine": Astronomers discover a large structure that hosts at least 20 massive galaxies
An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a large-scale structure that consists of at least 20 massive galaxies. The structure, dubbed "Cosmic Vine," has a size of about 13 million physical light years. The finding was detailed in.....»»
Study finds strongest evidence yet for local sources of cosmic ray electrons
A new study using data from the CALorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET) instrument on the International Space Station has found evidence for nearby, young sources of cosmic ray electrons, contributing to a greater understanding of how the galaxy func.....»»
How to think about a four-dimensional universe
In Einstein's famous theory of relativity the concepts of immutable space and time aren't just put aside, they're explicitly and emphatically rejected. Space and time are now woven into a coexisting fabric. That is to say, we truly live in a four-dim.....»»
Daily Telescope: An amazing, colorful view of the Universe
Take a look at two clusters of galaxies that are colliding. Enlarge / This panchromatic view of galaxy cluster MACS0416 was created by combining infrared observations from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope with visible-.....»»
First release of images demonstrates Euclid space telescope"s potential
Two things are needed to understand how the universe came into being and how it has evolved to its present form. Cosmological computer models employ the laws of physics to depict the universe's expected appearance today, while observations made with.....»»
Oldest black hole discovered dating back to 470 million years after the Big Bang
Scientists have discovered the oldest black hole yet, a cosmic beast formed a mere 470 million years after the Big Bang......»»

All Marvel Cinematic Universe movies ranked worst to best
Since 2008's "Iron Man," there have been dozens of movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The latest? "The Marvels." We rank the best to worst of the MCU. Marvel started its multi-phase movie takeover in 2008. Since then, this high-flying fra.....»»
Every Marvel movie villain, ranked
From Thanos to Loki to Kang, Dar-Benn, and some truly disappointing "Iron Man" villains, we rank all the big bads of the Marvel Cinematic Universe... even Malekith (who??). Once upon a time, Marvel had a villain problem, but those days may be f.....»»
Milky Way-like galaxy found in the early universe
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, an international team, including astronomer Alexander de la Vega of the University of California, Riverside, has discovered the most distant barred spiral galaxy similar to the Milky Way that has been observed to.....»»
