The first ever space telescope, the Orbiting Astronomical Observatory 2 (OAO-2), was launched into the low Earth orbit in ...

What we saw in the DESI experiments, and now strengthened by our South Pole Telescope observations, is that dark energy is ...

The research team developed novel analysis methods for dark energy in the study. By integrating DESI's latest measurements with supernova and cosmic microwave background radiation data, researchers ...

The earliest galaxies may have scrambled our reading of the Universe. A new study challenges the traditional interpretation of the cosmic microwave background, this fossil light from the Big Bang.

DESI, built by a Berkeley Lab-led collaboration, is working on a massive 3D map of the universe. For background light, the team relied on data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope in Chile, which ...

These advances pave the way for the future Simons Observatory, which will continue the study of the cosmic microwave background. Jo Dunkley sees in this data a unique opportunity to trace cosmic ...

So, to spot this hidden matter, researchers turned to a technique that takes advantage of the oldest light in the universe: the cosmic microwave background, or CMB.

New hints from one of the most extensive surveys of the cosmos to date suggest that mysterious dark energy may be evolving in ways that could shift how astronomers understand the universe. Dark ...

New observations of the cosmos show that the dark energy, a mysterious force that accelerates the expansion of the universe, is evolving.

The cosmic microwave background – the afterglow of the Big Bang – contains clues about the nature of dark energy. WMAP / Wikimedia, CC BY-SA When the new DESI results are combined with all ...

However, when DESI’s new data is combined with other cosmic observations – including the light leftover from the dawn of the universe (the cosmic microwave background or CMB), exploding stars ...

The First-Ever Evidence of the Multiverse The ‘Cold Spot’ might be proof that our universe is just one of a multitude of other soap bubble universes. Updated: Mar 12, 2025 07:26 AM EST ...
