WUWM astronomy contributor Jean Creighton discusses cosmology ahead of "Birth of the Universe" at UWM's Manfred Olson ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is transforming our view of the universe, revealing celestial objects in unprecedented detail. These observations are reshaping our understanding of the cosmos ...

The plot represents the new model with the x-axis and the y-axis showing the minimum sizes of collapsing and expanding regions that can impact cosmological measurements. The contours are independent ...

New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) suggest the cosmos may be much older than once believed. For decades, scientists have held that the universe is about 13.8 billion years old ...

About 13.8 billion years ago, within a millionth of a second after the Big Bang, the universe existed in an ultra-hot and dense state. Instead of protons and neutrons, the fundamental building blocks ...

Discover why astronomy and cosmology are the universe's mapmakers. Discover how scientists trace galaxies, the cosmic web, and the large-scale architecture of our entire existence in three dimensions ...

Researchers have unveiled a new model for the universe’s birth that replaces cosmic inflation with gravitational waves as the driving force behind creation. Their simulations show that gravity and ...

Astronomers have peered back in time to find what looks like a population of 'hidden' galaxies that could hold the key to unlocking some of the universe's secrets. If their existence is confirmed it ...

The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe – a singular moment when space, time and matter sprang into existence. But what if this was not the beginning at all? What if our ...

No matter how much order nor how many distinctions we make about the universe, in essence, it’s just a soup of subatomic waves and particles. Whether this represents some sort of primordial order or ...
