In the late 1990s, two rival teams of astronomers discovered that the universe was expanding faster and faster. It was a stunning conclusion based on the dimming light of distant supernovae. This led ...

After a century of observations spanning the breadth of the cosmos and theoretical insights that push humanity's vision of the universe to its utmost limits, we can finally, confidently say that the ...

"If these results are confirmed, it would mark a major paradigm shift in cosmology since the discovery of dark energy 27 years ago." As if dark energy weren't already mysterious and baffling enough, ...

The surface of Earth is finite. We can measure it. If it was expanding, then its size would grow with time. And once again, good ol' Earth helps us understand what the universe might be doing beyond ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A commonly held belief that the universe is rapidly expanding may be wrong. A new paper published this month suggests the universe’s expansion might be slowing down and it could mean ...

IT IS ONE of the biggest mysteries in cosmology—and getting bigger all the time. Ever since Edwin Hubble, an American astronomer, published observations of distant galaxies in 1929, scientists have ...

The expansion rate of the universe may be slowing down, rather than accelerating at an ever-growing rate, a potentially groundbreaking new study has hinted. The suggestion challenges both the 2011 ...

Our universe may have been born in a gravitational crunch that formed a very massive black hole—followed by a bounce inside it. The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe—a ...
