After many hours of staring unblinking at a small patch of sky, JWST has given us the most detailed map ever obtained of a corner of the Universe. It's called the COSMOS-Web field, and if that sounds ...

The interactive online map, created using data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, details some 800,000 galaxies across a vast cosmic distance. Scrolling and zooming in can take users some 13.5 ...

For years, astronomers have been working to piece together the story of our universe, but the critical early chapters remained largely incomplete. Our telescopes simply haven't been sensitive enough ...

In the late 1930s, astronomer Harlow Shapley stared up at the sky and noticed something extraordinary — an enormous cloud of galaxies in the constellation Centaurus. It was a curiosity at the time, a ...

(Nanowerk News) An international research team led by the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) has developed a new method of imaging the universe and created a fascinating map of the ...

Over billions of years gravity has pulled the universe’s matter into a chaotic netting of filaments, tendrils and voids known as the cosmic web. Galaxies are strewn along these strands like beads on a ...

"We showed that a void model is about one hundred million times more likely than a void-free model." Earth, its cosmic home the Milky Way, and even the very local region of universe around us could be ...

A new survey of distant galaxies undertaken by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is revealing new secrets of the "cosmic noon"—when galaxies in the young universe underwent something of an awkward ...

Looking up at the night sky, it may seem our cosmic neighborhood is packed full of planets, stars and galaxies. But scientists have long suggested there may be far fewer galaxies in our cosmic ...
