Primordial black holes may be exploding throughout the universe. If we can catch them in the act, it could pave the way to ...

Astronomers have identified three ultra-massive galaxies -- nearly as massive as the Milky Way -- already in place within the first billion years after the Big Bang. This surprising discovery was made ...

The kilonova briefly mimicked the conditions immediately following the Big Bang, and allowed scientists to confirm the source ...

Geologists studying the Cambrian rocks of the Grand Canyon have uncovered exciting new insights that challenge traditional ...

Astrophysicists have, for the first time, measured the temperature of elementary particles in the radioactive afterglow of a neutron star collision, which led to the formation of a black hole. This br ...

Astronomers have used a range of telescopes, including Hubble, to watch as particles dance around a neutron star collision ...

That big bang as the wheels were leaving the ground and the shudder — that was like nothing I’ve ever felt,” one passenger ...

When the two neutron stars collide, the initial kilonova of exploded neutron star guts is extremely hot, billions of degrees, ...

The Big Bang theory suggests that the universe began as a hot, dense point, expanding into the cosmos we observe today.

The temperature of elementary particles has been observed in the radioactive glow following the collision of two neutron stars and the birth of a black hole. This has, for the first time, made it ...

The light from this object has traveled all the way from a time 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. Earlier supermassive black holes have been discovered – but none of them can hold a candle to this ...

Over the last century or so, science has homed in on an answer: the Big Bang. This describes how the Universe was born in a cataclysmic explosion almost 14 billion years ago. In a tiny fraction of a ...
