The universe's 'missing matter' may have finally been found
About half of the non-dark matter in the universe cannot be accounted for by stars and galaxies alone. Now, scientists say previously undetected clouds of hydrogen gas could finally reveal it.
Scientists share groundbreaking image of the 'cosmic web' connecting 2 galaxies near the dawn of time
After hundreds of hours of observations, researchers captured a highly detailed image of a long filament of the "cosmic web" connecting two distant galaxies. The discovery opens new windows for understanding how structures form and evolve in the universe.
Biggest black hole jets ever seen are as long as 140 Milky Ways
The largest-ever black hole jets ever seen hint that these cosmic monsters may play an even more significant role in shaping galaxies than previously thought.
How do galaxies grow while ensnared in the universe's cosmic web?
New simulations show how thousands of galaxies evolve by traveling through the strands of gas, dust and stars that make up the universe's "cosmic web."
More than 900,000 stars, galaxies and black holes revealed in most detailed X-ray map of the universe ever
Scientists using the eROSITA X-ray telescope have released a trove of data that reveals more than 900,000 objects in space, including 700,000 supermassive black holes and other 'exotic' objects.
