There is no dearth of vastness, secrets and rumours around the universe, that is the disc shaped or torus shaped cosmos.

The Universe, with its billions of galaxies, presents a complex structure that has intrigued scientists for decades. The question of whether this structure is fractal, meaning similar at all scales, ...

New research from Mathew Madhavacheril and Ph.D. candidate Joshua Kim of the University of Pennsylvania and their collaborators has combined cosmological data from two major surveys of the universe’s ...

We are staring "right down the barrel of it, which is really quite surprising to me — we're just lucky." One of the most photographed objects in the night sky is the Ring Nebula, wreckage of a ...

A new computational method gleans more information than  its predecessors from maps showing how galaxies are clustered and threaded throughout the universe.

THE history of astronomy is in some ways exceptional among the sciences. It is the most laborious of all, and from this fact arises a certain apparent discontinuity. For years the work goes on ...
