Measurements of the acceleration of the universe don’t agree, stumping physicists working to understand the cosmic past and future.

A half-century ago, a radio telescope in Holmdel, N.J., sent two astronomers 13.8 billion years back in time — and opened a cosmic window that scientists have been peering through ever since.

Imagine studying a photo of the universe from 13.8 billion years ago.

The National Science Foundation has awarded a $52.66 million grant to fund a major infrastructure upgrade to the Simons Observatory in the Atacama Desert of Chile. Upgrades are expected to take about five years; the resulting facility will be known as the Advanced Simons Observatory (ASO).

Mark Devlin and colleagues have been awarded an NSF grant to upgrade the prominent observatory in the high Atacama Desert in Northern Chile.

Stony Brook NY (SPX) Apr 18, 2023 - A new groundbreaking image from one of the worlds most powerful telescopes that reveals the most detailed map of dark matter distributed across one quarter of the sky, and deep into the cosmos, off

Princeton NJ (SPX) Apr 12, 2023 - For millennia, humans have been fascinated by the mysteries of the cosmos. Unlike ancient philosophers imagining the universes origins, modern cosmologists use quantitative tools to gain insights i

Scientists from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) collaboration have created an image that shows the most detailed map of dark matter distributed across a quarter of the sky. This confirms Albert Einsteins theory of how large structures grow and bend light throughout the universes life span of 14 billion years.

Research led by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope collaboration maps the universe's cosmic growth supporting Einstein's theory of general relativity.
