In the grand puzzle of the cosmos, one question continues to defy easy answers: how fast is the universe expanding? Astronomers have tried two main methods to figure it out, but their numbers don’t ...

Sure, they're not your typical baby pictures. But a global team of researchers says new images published this week show some of the clearest visualizations yet of the universe in its infancy. If our ...

The epoch of reionization, a period following the cosmic dark ages, marks the transition of the universe's predominantly neutral hydrogen gas to its currently ionized state, driven by the ionizing ...

Astronomers use the Hubble constant to calculate the age and size of the Universe, the distances to objects beyond our galaxy, and the influence of dark energy. If we start whacking recklessly at this ...
