This enormous chain of hundreds of galaxies—a cosmic filament—is twisting through space 400 million light-years away ...

Astronomers have unveiled a new catalog of massive galaxy clusters, revealing insight on the evolution of the universe. Galaxy clusters — the largest gravitationally bound structures in the universe — ...

Space. It's really, really big. How big is it? Well, according to astronomers, the observable universe is around 92 billion light-years in diameter, but that's all we can see (hence the word ...

Imagine drifting through space in a place so empty that you wouldn’t see a single star, planet, or galaxy in any direction. This is the Boötes Void, one of the largest known empty regions in the ...

Scientists have released a new study that catalogues the universe by mapping huge clusters of galaxies. These clusters are some of the largest known objects in the universe — and they can help ...

A team of astronomers looking at galaxies in the universe’s distant past have discovered nine young, compact galaxies, each weighing in at 200 billion times the mass of the Sun. Imagine receiving an ...

Astronomers using two of NASA’s most powerful space telescopes have discovered a massive cluster of galaxies forming much earlier in the universe than scientists thought possible. The finding suggests ...

A multifractal spectrum called a weighted Cantor set model can describe how galaxies cluster, which is similar to other ...

UBC scientists have discovered hot gas in a 12-billion-year-old galaxy cluster, shedding light on galaxy clusters in the ...

The standard cosmological model (present-day version of "Big Bang," called Lambda-CDM) gives an age of the universe close to 13.8 billion years and much younger when we explore the universe at ...
