About 13.8 billion years ago, the origin of the universe began with the Big Bang. Scientists say all space, time, matter, and ...

A unique technique allowed astronomers to see the early universe as a "sea of light" and explore the effects of gravity and dark energy on cosmic evolution.

In the name of open science, the multinational scientific collaboration COSMOS on Thursday has released the data behind the largest map of the universe. Called the COSMOS-Web field, the project, with ...

Mosaic images from the COSMOS-Web program offer a treasure trove of early galaxies. The first epoch of COSMOS-Web observations obtained with the NIRCam instrument on Jan. 5-6, 2023. Image credit: ...

The discovery of the universe’s oldest stars, identified within our own Milky Way galaxy, marks a significant leap forward in our understanding of cosmic history. These ancient stars, formed shortly ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spotted the most distant “jellyfish galaxy” ever seen — a cosmic oddity streaming long, tentacle-like trails of gas and newborn stars as it speeds ...

A spacecraft that’s exploring the dark universe has released its first full-colour images of the cosmos. Named Euclid after the ancient Greek “father of geometry,” the satellite was developed by the ...

Welcome to the Daily Telescope. There is a little too much darkness in this world and not enough light, a little too much pseudoscience and not enough science. We'll let other publications offer you a ...
