A unique technique allowed astronomers to see the early universe as a "sea of light" and explore the effects of gravity and ...

Astronomers have unveiled one of the most ambitious maps yet of the early universe, revealing a vast "sea of light" between ...

MeerKAT telescope discovers most powerful space laser ever found, detecting a hydroxyl gigamaser 8 billion light-years away using gravitational lensing.

Astronomers have discovered the brightest and most distant "megamaser" to date. The cosmic energy beam is shooting toward ...

For decades, astronomers were certain that half of the ordinary matter in the universe — protons and neutrons, the building blocks of everything we see — had simply gone unaccounted for. The cosmic ...

Astronomers using the MeerKAT telescope discovered a hydroxyl megamaser in a galactic merger 8 billion light-years away, amplified by gravitational lensing and operating at radio wavelengths.

The Cat's Eye Nebula is located 4,400 light-years away in the constellation Draco.

Astronomers using the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa have discovered the most distant hydroxyl megamaser ever detected. It is located in a violently merging galaxy more than 8 billion ...

"The polarized light of the cosmic microwave background is sensitive to new physics that violates parity symmetry," the team ...

Some of the universe's most extreme explosions leave behind almost no trace. The original explosion is unseen, but our observations can capture the long-lived echo it leaves behind as the shock front ...
