A group of astronomers have claimed to have found the first observed evidence of a universe-spanning magnetic field long theorized to exist, but which had remained too faint for humans to detect.

Studying this glow could confirm how the large-scale structure of the universe was formed.

During Medieval times almost all Christian theologians accepted the Ptolemaic earth centered Greek view of the universe as an absolute universal truth of both nature and religion. The Catholic Inquisition punished those who dared to voice other ideas. Fast forward to today, where there is a question of how extra-terrestrial life and religious beliefs may combine

The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment ( CHIME)  has reached "a milestone in the quest to discover the hidden origins of universal structure," according to an article in Scientific American, called "Canadian Telescope Delivers Deepest-Ever Radio View of Cosmic Web," written by Wright Lab alum Ben Bruba

The results of measurements of the Hubble constant H0, which characterizes the expansion rate of the universe, show that the values of H0 vary significantly depending on Methodology. The disagreement in the values of H0 obtained by the various teams far exceeds the standard uncertainties provided with the values. This discrepancy is called the Hubble Tension. In this paper, we discuss Macrostructures of the World (Superclusters and Galaxies); explain their Origin and Evolution in frames of the d...

A research team headed by Martijn Oei, a Dutch PhD student, has identified a radio galaxy—of at least 16 million light-years long—by a stroke of luck. The plasma plumes pair is the hugest structure made by a galaxy known so far. The result challenges some long-believed hypotheses about the evolution of radio galaxies.

By a stroke of luck, a team led by Dutch PhD student Martijn Oei has discovered a radio galaxy of at least 16 million lightyears long. The pair of plasma plumes is the largest structure made by a galaxy known thus far. The finding disproves some...

Researchers have used machine learning to create a cosmic map that allows them to predict the distribution of dark matter.
