While scanning a region of the cosmos near the Big Dipper, a group of astronomers identified something that has pretty much blown their minds.
The remarkable gold-plated, infrared eyes have been capturing far-flung galaxies as well as shedding light on a bevvy of scientific questions and concerns.
Stephen Hawking hasn’t been gone long, and he’s already made a bold claim about the universe from beyond the grave.
Yesterday a major scientific discovery was announced which further bolsters the Big Bang Theory of the universe. Scientists found the first evidence for the primordial B-mode polarization of the cosmic microwave background which was detected by a telescope called BICEP2. This is direct evidence of cosmic inflation.
The European Space Agency (ESA) revealed on Thursday that our Universe is 80 to 100 million years older than previously thought, via a detailed map of the most ancient light in the cosmos. ESA’s Planck satellite took a 50-million pixel, all sky snapshot of the radiation left over from the Big Bang. Director general of […]
