Recent astronomical research indicates that our Earth may be embedded within one of the largest known structures in the ...

The study reveals several discrepancies between the observations of local galaxy groups and the current cosmological simulations used to model galaxy formation.

Ursa Major III was initially classified as an ultra-faint dwarf galaxy, and Keck's DEIMOS spectrograph measured the stars' ...

Pictures are the key to new insights in the field of astrophysics. Such images include simulations of cosmic events, which astrophysicists at UZH use to investigate how stars, planets and galaxies ...

Cosmological simulations based on the standard model, which incorporates dark matter as a crucial ingredient, struggle to form galaxies with planes of satellites around them.

In a preprint released in August 2025, researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics reported a newly identified ...

Next, the team plans to expand their research by studying other regions to see if this is a common mode of accretion that results in the formation of massive stars.

What is dark energy? “Dark energy” is a term scientists use to refer to whatever is causing the universe to expand faster over time. It’s a catchall term because we don’t know exactly what dark energy ...
