Astronomers have turned the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) into a time machine to peer back in cosmic time to 1 billion years after the Big Bang.

Seen as a long strand with smaller threads branching, the Quipu superstructure contains 68 galaxy clusters spanning 1.4 ...

For years, scientists have worked to chart the universe’s massive structure, aiming to test key models of cosmology. These efforts also help uncover how galaxies form and change over time. While most ...

Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have discovered a vast 23 million light-year-wide tendril connecting galactic clusters and containing much of the universe's missing matter.

"At that moment, the first photons in the universe can escape." The light typical of the universe when it was about 3,000 kelvins was in near- infrared to visible wavelengths, Layden noted.
