The universe is expanding faster than it used to, meaning it’s about a billion years younger than we thought, a new study by a Nobel Prize winner says. And that’s sending a shudder through the world of physics, making astronomers re-think some of their most basic concepts.
Hyperion's unimaginably enormous mass is estimated to be a million billion times that of our own Sun (which is approximately 1,048 Jupiters, or 333,000 Earths).
Hawking's theory lies upon the assumption that the universe has no boundaries.
The general prevailing theory is that our solar system was formed billions of years ago near a supernova. However, the latest study, published in the Astrophysical Journal, begins with a giant type of star called a Wolf-Rayet star.
But since this never happened, scientists are still baffled, as the universe was born with equal amounts of matter and anti-matter.
Professor Hawking's 1966 thesis "Properties of expanding universes" was made freely available for the first time on the publications section of university's website at 12.01 a.m. on Monday.
The scientists unveiled the dark matter map in a presentation at the American Physical Society Division of Particles and Fields meeting at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
If you thought exploring galaxies and discovering planets wasn’t ‘cool’ enough, US space agency NASA is now aiming to create what will possibly be the coolest spot in the universe. NASA is planning to
The universe has entered its ‘old age’ and is now preparing for death as the energy levels in the galaxies are going down due to the fusion of matter in stars, according to experts.
In endeavours to hunt down gamma-beam blasts, a square-shaped probe, dubbed "Little Bee" by Chinese scientists is currently searching for strongest explosion in the universe. The formal name of the probe, placed on Tiangong-2, is
The universe contains a dizzying two trillion galaxies, up to 20 times more than previously estimated, new research has found. Over the last 20 years scientists have used images from the Hubble Space Telescope to
NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has captured a new image of Pandora's Cluster, or Abell 2744, which will allow astronomers to study the distant universe. The Pandora’s Cluster is a giant galaxy cluster resulting from the
The universe is not spinning or moving in any particular direction, but is instead expanding equally in all directions, new research has concluded. On the basis of data collected from European Space Agency's Planck satellite,
While physicists have been trying to unravel the mysteries of black holes for decades, a new study suggests that they may actually be ‘back doors’ to other parts of the universe.
Washington: A group of hundreds of scientists have created largest 3D map of the Universe which is letting them better understand the mysterious dark energy. Scientists have produced the biggest 3D map of the Universe
London: The universe id slowly becoming cleaner as more and more cosmic dust is being mopped up by the formation of stars within galaxies, astronomers has revealed. According to the researchers at Cardiff University in
London: Renowned theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking will map the entire known universe using a supercomputing centre he founded at Cambridge University and Cosmos computer which will plot the position and movement of billions of galaxies,
Washington: In a significant find, astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have discovered that the universe is expanding five percent to nine percent faster than expected. There are a few possible explanations for the universe's
Sydney: A team of international scientists has discovered hundreds of hidden galaxies hidden from view until now by our own galaxy, the Milky Way, some 250 million light years away from the Earth.The discovery may
Sydney: Astronomers have discovered what they believe to be the oldest stars ever seen, dating from before the Milky Way Galaxy formed, when the universe was just 300 million years old.The nine stars, found near
